First i would like to wish My Gov Team for this best work. 1. We need to create a farmers batch in every villages. 2. We have to appoint an agriculture expert to every village (Job creation). 3. These experts have to create batches of farmers on their land and financial bases. 4. Expert has to study about the every farmer’s land soil and his financial status 5. And last 3 years his income from agriculture. And depending on this 6. Expert has to give target to farmers to make more income.

1.All weather information from medium range forecast should be available in all languages on website of the org. 2. farmers who register with the website should receive the weather info in the language he has selected free ajay

IT in Agriculture

As it's a suggestion for policy making, here are my thoughts, as per my understanding:1.Education for farmer's children Hindi/English medium.2.To retain them after all the education in the village is the toughest job; 3.Make Audio / Videos available on the websites for formers; 4.The audio/video should be available to listen/see on cheapest mobile with free sms delivery. 5. Also farmer should be able listen by dialing tollfree number from phone in regional languages.

Technology required here to educate our farmers is similar to the one developed by IITK for gardeners http://vkvk.iitk.ac.in/mfm/. Though without funding they are faltering. Please look at the project I am sure, same technology can be extended to farmers.

Use the ICT to plan, implement and monitor the microwatershed management programme through out the country with a technology enabled leakage-proof implemntation methodology from the identification of the watershed and profiling of watershed farmers , VWCs and NGOs ,Govt Departments, online monitoring system and impact measurement of every treatment at the individulal farm plot, farmer, watershed and overall program levels with standard reports, cubes and analytics for improvement.

I recently saw Telangana farmers commit suicide on cotton farming issue. Next day I watched a famous agri scientist talking about when to SOW the seeds. It was a pity that the farmers wasted their expensive seeds without this knowledge and committed suicide. A Govt helpline which can connect local weather and rainfall data with location information.. soil condition by farmer in telling farmer about the time to sow seeds. This can be integrated on a mobile platform

1. All TV channels/Radio should dedicate 30 mins for agriculture on PRIME TIME. make it a policy. 2. Every paper should have a page on agriculture EVERYDAY. 3.Efficient weather report which makes farmers to plan well. 4.digital display of weather report and market price of selected goods on each panchayath. 5. Loans for medium sized argicultural electrical and electronic equipmements. 6.making agricultural departments to start awareness programs in each panchayaths about weather, market et all.

1. crowdfunding for innovative companies 2. reimburse for purchasing mobile technology plus tax incentives 3. project loon of google/drones practical for internet access 4. biowaste/solar electricity if none available 5. elearning (discussion based two way NOT oneway) 6. agriculture app development/purchase rebates/reimbursements/incentives

Ways to empower and integrate farmers with technology and better farming practices.
