    Paddy holds a key component for sustainable food production and economy in India. The state of Manipur located in the NorthEastern part of India is unique in producing varieties of paddy. Agriculture being the backbone of the state economy and paddy is the dominant crop grown by farmers in Manipur. Imphal West district is classified under high productivity of paddy in the state of Manipur. This district enjoys comfortable temperature throughout the year. The whole district is under the influence of the monsoons characterized by hot and humid rainy seasons during the summer, and cool and dry seasons during the winter. Use of information sources is vital for improving productivity of paddy and attaining food security among the farmers. Therefore the present study was undertaken in the Imphal West district to investigate the status and factors influencing various information sources for enhancing the productivity of paddy. Further two blocks viz., Imphal West I and Imphal West II blocks were selected and two villages among the leading paddy producing villages in each of these blocks were selected randomly. 20 farmers were randomly selected from each of the four selected villages to obtain a sample size of 80 respondents. The findings of the study revealed that majority of the respondents belonged to middle age group, were educated, had marginal land holding size with low level of social participation and training exposure, possessing medium knowledge level of improved paddy cultivation, medium level of market orientation and scientific orientation. Major information sources utilized by the paddy growers included television, newspaper and radio and friends. Correlation analysis revealed that the variables education, land holding under paddy, annual income, training exposure, social participation, attitude and market orientation had positive and significant association with the information sources utilization by the paddy growers. The regression model which included annual income and social participation were highly significant at 1% level of probability and accounted for explaining the information sources utilization for enhanced paddy production among the farmers. The study concluded that education, appropriate land under paddy, assured annual income, relevant training in improved paddy farming, social participation, marketing orientation and favorable attitude influenced the farmers to utilize different information sources for improved paddy cultivation. The study recommended to motivate farmers for sparing more land under paddy cultivation, frequent use of mass media of information sources and impart need based training in improved paddy cultivation technology so as to enhance productivity and attain food security among the paddy farmers.
