To sum-up, communication is a vital part of personal life in the society. It is equally important in business, education, civilization, administration and other situations where people encounter with each other to satisfy their needs and wishes. The communication system in India is far from showing concern for the problems and needs of the rural folk, the poor people, the workers, peasants' common people and women. The dite pressure is making it an instrument of consumerism and Counter Reformation. There is not enough political response to these issues as well as the issue of tremendous pressure from the people for a new information order. The extension/communication/dissemination system and network are the key input in increasing the performance in agricultural production. Therefore, the communication is the most powerful input which brings substantial development in socio-economic status of an individual. The study was conducted inAllahabad district of Uttar Pradesh.
