This empirical study was conducted in purposively selected Balasore district of Odisha state where 91.1% of total kharif cultivated area was under rice cultivation. Farm women perform the major portion of farm work except ploughing and insecticide application. It was found that the linkage of farm women, leaving the personal localite sources for availing agricultural knowledge was very poor. The information supply in many vital operations of rice farming was not up to the mark. The information supply was lowest in seed treatment of rice farming (0.08), whereas the highest was in winnowing (1.58). The highest information demand was for selection of variety (2.10). Weed control had the maximum information gap of 1.77 followed by seed variety (1.41) and seed treatment (1.21). The extension agencies should try to bridge the gap for enhancing the knowledge level of the farm women.
