A study was conducted to study the relationship between selected characteristics of the respondents and their adoption. Ex-post facto research design was followed. The present investigation covered three districts of the Saurashtra Region of Gujarat. A multistage sampling method was used with a sample size of 240 respondents. The statistical measures such as one sample test of kurtosis and skewness and correlation analysis were used. Twelve independent variables viz., annual income, occupation, social participation, extension agency contact, achievement motivation, frequency of internet use, Availability of ICT tools, cosmopoliteness, innovativeness, scientific orientation, risk orientation and economic motivation were found having highly significant and positive relationships with adoption of information at 0.01 level of significance. One of the most important suggestion was low cost smart phone should be made available to the farmers because farmers work in natural environment and during the rainy season and at the time irrigating the crops, many times it happened that they damaged their high costly smartphone.
