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 villagers 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 opinion of the villagers about 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 opinion of villagers about accessibility of their village is (37.50 per cent) of the villagers suggest the ‘poor frequency of public transport facilities’, while (31.87 per cent) ‘frequent failure in telephone connectivity’, (29.68 per cent) ‘no connecting roads to hamlets’, (25.62 per cent) ‘no pick up shade for bus stop’, less than one fourth (24.06 per cent) ‘unavailability of sufficient staff and medical facilities in primary health center’, (22.50 per cent) ‘loadsheding puts limitation in use of electric appliance’.
