Abstract

Just as information and communication technology (ICT) has diffused in many spheres of life, it has also revolutionized the agriculture sector. The critical challenges in the agriculture sector, like lack of infrastructure and market information, employment problems, financial inaccessibility and effective disaster management techniques, are addressed with the help of ICT initiatives. The paper covers a detailed study of two ICT initiatives, namely, Warana and iKisan in Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh known to be the major agrarian states of India. The study is based upon the secondary information collected from various research articles and websites of the respective projects. With the help of a detailed study of the major ICT projects, we can bring forward a strategy for their effective execution and implementation in the targeted areas. It will also serve the purpose of inducing deep farming knowledge among unaware farmers to obtain maximum productivity. Implementation of ICT initiatives based on an in-depth study of demands of farmers would make the execution of these projects more effective.
