While, the most used sources were RAU Bikaner / DEE followed by state department of agriculture for the acquisition of farm technology. For acquisition of farm technology only two variables namely trainings attended and job commitment had positive and significant association in correlation analysis. The multiple regression analysis between communication linkage mechanism of extension personnel for acquisition of farm technology and independent variables revealed that 42.38 percent variation could be explained by them. However, only job commitment variable was found to exhibit significant regression coefficient towards their communication linkage mechanism for acquisition of farm technology. It can be summarized that poor infrastructure facilities and lack of need based appropriate researches on different aspects in integrated manner were perceived by majority of extension personnel for maintaining the linkage with other systems. Extension personal opined that feasible recommendations need based programmes than target oriented one with provision for incentives and rewards could be the measures for strengthening the linkage mechanism
