Abstract: This research was conducted with the objective of studying the constraints faced in information seeking by farmers in the Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. A sample of 210 respondents was randomly selected, and data were collected through a structured and pre-tested interview schedule. The gathered data were analyzed and tabulated to identify constraints related to information seeking in the study area. The findings highlighted various challenges faced by farmers, including issues such as the absence of information in the local language, lack of training, financial constraints, limited educational qualifications, restricted access to computers and information sources, insufficient electricity and internet availability, infrastructure deficiencies, inadequate community facilities, disorganized social structures, and the presence of an inferiority feeling. The study underscores the multifaceted nature of status of constraints faced by the farmers of Bundelkhand in Uttar Pradesh regarding accessing sources of information
