Axinn, Evans, Sixty-nine farm families in Shardanagar Panchayat, Chitwan District, Nepal, provided data via a questionnaire for analysis of the information flow to these farm families. The major channel for information flow in this area was word-of-mouth, with information coming from relatives, various officials, and commercial people. One-third of the farms had radio receivers, and a slightly higher proportion reported that they received newspapers. Two -thirds reported that they received letters from others. Over 75% of the families had a boy or man present who could read, and 17% of the families had a girl present who could read. Organization membership, participation, and other interpersonal inter-actions were also analyzed. (author)
