It consists largely of elders, and those with low socioeconomic status. Laggards believe mostly friends and neighbors as information sources, dislike change, and accept new things only when forced to. The innovators, early adopters and early majority are the population who adopts a change or new idea without any reluctance so we need to think about what we will do about our laggards – in the past we could often get away by ignoring them – but nowadays some systems may only work if everyone uses it (like use of apps- Arogyasetu) and non-use is not an option. Mainstreaming the laggards is important for the overall development of the community. Certain approaches can be followed for streamlining the laggards at par with the late majority will be a great success for the extension functionaries/ sociologists.

Diffusion typically takes a number of years, scarcely reaches a level of 100% of the potential adopters’ population and mostly follows S-shaped curve in time. Apparently, some farmers choose to be the first users while others prefer to be early adopters or late adopters, some prefers not to adopt. This research paper titled ‘Adoption Behavior of farmers in Khordha district of Odisha, India was conducted in four villages named Pubusahi, sarua, Balianta, and Benupur to know the factors affecting adoption of a new technology, attitude of the farmers towards the technology, perception of the farmers and suggestions from farmers regarding adoption of technologies. From the study, it was revealed most of respondents were cosmopolite and elderly having high favorability towards new technologies. However from the suggestions it was clear that the lack ...
