In total 60 farmers were selected randomly from three villages namely Ghobindopur, Jatrapur and Nowapara under Burichang Upazila in Cumilla district of Bangladesh. Tabular technique and statistical analysis were done to achieve the objectives of the study. The Cobb-Douglas production function was used in this study to determine the effects of individual inputs on boro rice. Per hectare gross cost of Boro farmers was Tk99052.62669 and per hectare gross return was Tk139556.63.It was observed that per hectare net return was Tk. 40504.01.The undiscounted BCR were 1.41.The results indicated that Boro production was profitable .It was also evident from the study that per hectare net returns were influenced by most of the factors included in model namely: human labor, seed, fertilizer and manure, insecticides and pesticides, power tiller, and irrigation.

AL-EMRANAgricultural development cannot be understood without the use of modern technologies like Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). The recent developments in ICTs offer a unique opportunity to bring the production enhancing tools and technologies to the growers with much cost-effective manner. Worldwide, many studies were published on the role of application of ICTs in agricultural production. However, only a few studies were carried out to know the impact of ICT based service delivery system on agricultural production aspects in Bangladesh. Therefore, an attempt has been made to find the factors of ICTs on agricultural production, especially in the food crops, vegetables, fisheries and cattles. Using a randomized survey with a questionnaire, interviews and focus group discussion, a study was carried out with a sample of 100 farmers from a population comprises farmers all over the country. The findings from the study after counterfactual analysis and difference in differences analysis as well showed that with the application, advancement and use of ICTs, agricultural production was accelerated which was evident from the degree of increase of ICT.
