Abstract: The Konkan region of Maharashtra State has the difficult hilly terrain which isolates some villages from the main road. While, communication and other infrastructural facilities are also less in the remote villages as compared to the villages nearer to the road. This makes some villages less accessible and some villages more accessible from the point of view of input supply and technology transfer. The present study was conducted in Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts of Konkan region of Maharashtra State with the objectives to know the suggestion of less and more accessible villagers for improving the accessibility of their village. The sample was comprised of randomly selected 320 respondents from 32 villages in eight tahsils from two districts, which was personally interviewed with the help of specially designed interview schedule. The suggestions of villagers for improving the accessibility of their village is more than half (56.25 per cent) of the villagers suggest ‘basic facilities such as roads, irrigation and drinking water should be strengthened’, more than one fourth (34.37 per cent) ‘frequency of public transport needs to be increased’, (27.18 per cent) ‘telephone connectivity should be available’, (26.25 per cent) ‘development of proper infrastructure in the village to check migration’, were suggestions of villagers for improving accessibility of village.
