Applications of ICT in Agriculture Sector

Abstract

In modern agricultural systems farmers believe they have much more central roles and are eager to apply technology and information to control most components of the system, a very different view from that of traditional farmers. In contrast to the isolation inherent in traditional arrangements, modern agriculture tends to see its success as dependant on linkages and access to resources, technology, management, investment, markets and supportive government policies. This study follows secondary data sources. This study makes an attempt to analyze the various ICT methods for agriculture, to understand the technological issues faced by Indian farmers and to examine the importance of modern agricultural system. The study reveals that agriculture information methods should be organized and processed and disseminates right information to the right user at the right time. Dissemination of information like marketing information, package of practices through mobile and the television could create positive impact of the production system of the country. This in turn will promote the agricultural practices supporting to “make in India” endeavor.
