Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop an attitude scale to measure the attitude of farmers towards the use of digital platforms in agriculture. It has been a long-time need for a proper scale to measure the attitude of farmers towards the use of digital tools for Agriculture and allied sectors, it was thought necessary to construct a scale for the purpose. Keeping this in view, an attempt has been made to develop a scale for measuring the attitude of farmers towards the use of digital platforms in agriculture. The method of summated rating scale, by Likert (1932) was used. Fifteen statements were selected from 50 statements for which ‘t’ values were worked out, ‘t’ value shows the level of differentiation between the high and low group for a statement. More than 25-30 per cent were selected which were with the highest ‘t’ value. Finally, 15 statements were retained in the final scale for the study.
