Abstract
The research study was undertaken in Jabalpur district of M.P. under ex-post facto research design and planned to know the socio-economic, psychological and communicational attributes of the sesame growers. Ten different villages of Sihora block were selected randomly. Thus, in all, 100 sesame growers were interrogated through pre-tested structural interview schedule to constitute the samples for the investigation. The study uncovered the facts that majority of the sesame growers belonged to middle age, had education up to middle level, possess small land holdings with marginal land under sesame. It was also observed that a large number of them had low material possession, no participation in social organizations and falls under medium annual income group with low socio-economic status. The communicational attributes like exposure to mass media and extension participation were found to be low in majority of them. Although the sesame growers had medium knowledge and adoption level of sesame production technologies, they were seen to have high scientific orientation.
