System of rice Intensification is a whole package of agronomic approaches which explair the genetic potential of rice plants to create better growing environment (both above and below ground) to enhance soil health and reduce inputs (seed, water, labor etc.,). In India, more than one million farmers are practicing SRI across almost all the rice cultivating district. System of rice intensification (SRI) is a new approach, now gaining popularity as it is found to increase the productivity and to reduce the cost of cultivation besides saving water use. The specific objectives of the study are to access the information and skill needs of the respondents on SRI technologies. A total number of 120 respondents were selected from ten villages in Krishnagiri district of Tamil Nadu by using proportionate random sampling method. A little more than fifty per cent belonged to medium level of knowledge followed by around two fifth of the respondents with high level of knowledge, while only less one tenth opf the respondents fell under low category of knowledge level on SRI technologies. more than fifth per cent of the respondents had knowledge weed management, sowing the seeds, nursery are, irrigation management, transplanting, seed rate, seedling age and preparatory cultivation. Hence, the media atleast a few hours of time to provide information on SRI technologies. Further, the extension workers may concentrate more in dissemination on the SRI technologies especially on seed rate, seedling age, preparatory cultivation, seed treatment and pest management wherein the respondent possessed low level of knowledge
