The study examines that how the rural people feel the necessity of information in their daily livelihood with the application of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) technique. Engaging rural people, the study tries to find out the lacks of information facilities if unavailable and to emerge the consciousness of rural people about the influence of information in their livelihood. As an output we will find the obstacles which keep them away from the consumption of better services. Different tools of PRA have been used to acquire satisfactory databases on the basis of our objectives. The output according to first objective is positive because a sufficient information service was available in information centre. But the output of second objective is negative, because the community has mere consciousness in availing those services. The study will create a concept to the respective authorities in finding the necessity of creating awareness along with the services provided by them. Then the authorities will prepare a strategically developed framework to arise consciousness.
