With a view to support larger group of groundnut growers with agricultural information in future, it seems worthwhile to determine the information needs of the groundnut growers. A good source of communication directly affects the adoption process. Without a suitable source or channel, it is not possible to convince all the farmers and rural citizen for the adoption of ICT. In India it is important that the extension administrators should decide the effective communication sources before development of any system for the higher adoption at a farmer’s level, in particular with this context it is necessary to develop a suggestive model for transfer of information for groundnut growers. The most important constraints faced by the groundnut growers were: Agricultural information is not available as and when required and information is not available at co-operative societies. The important suggestions offered by majority of groundnut growers’ were: Agricultural information centre should be established at village and required information should be available at co-operative societies.
