Suggestions for improving the use of ICT of or agriculture: 1. Provide SMS Based subscriptions to farmers where they can get market, soil health, climate information. 2. Provide a helpline where they can report on poor quality seeds/ agriculture inputs. 3. Provide a simple SMS based system where they can give feedback on Agriculture Extension services received/ not received by em. 4.link farmers to agricultural credit for agri inputs through smart cards or digital bank accounts.

According to me, latest technologies to be reached to farmers and means to educate farmers to latest technologies shall be as simple as possible. I'll suggest instead of educating farmers how to use digital technologies, there should be one agriculture technology center in one or group of village. The person or team representing that center should already have know-how of using technologies. These centers gives periodic seminar and training to farmers to increase their productivity.

One much needed initiative is devoloping technology for farmers to know markets to sell their product. Finding markets for their perishable goods is the major problem faced by a farmer. Because farmers couldnot find the market for their perishable goods.So, a mechanism by which farmers know markets and rates at the markets suggested for their products will help farmers sell their products at correct time and good rate. This will also decrease middleman's influence.

Intensive agriculture will happen when the farmer will understand the importance of planting medicinal plants, vegetables in addition to rice and wheat cultivation. In cities people should make vegetable walls instead of cement walls. On the road side, instead of poisonous cactus, the use ful medicinal plants can be planted. The vast land available and not used by government should be planted with fruits or vegetables. The fruits collector can collect fruits from those trees in systematic way.

Govt. endorsed "KISAN PHABLET" is my Idea to connect all farmers with tech.How to implement:1.Give PHABLET to all farmers.2.All important Agri. APPs will have local language support 3.Govt.Programs will be shown in Video format 4.Real time Global/local price information 5.Local weather update (hourly/daily)6.Maps of Local Cold storage/warehouse 7.Bank lending information 8.Local Agri. Expert Support 9.For non-tech savvy farmers (Postman/Teacher/Local youth can be facilitator with govt. stipend)

1. Cell Phone App (Indian Government) Almost Everyone has a cell phone now. 2. Crowd Funding Platform (Website and Governance) 3. Pest Control with help of Technology (Israel model) 4. Schools to produce organic food for their Mid-day Meal requirements. (A teacher growing green in the South Bronx, USA) 5. Rice Harvesting machine (Only grains are harvested leaving the rest behind) - Dr. Namavalar Model

All latest Agriculture Machines are available in all over the world. But a normal farmer cannot buy those latest machines because of high cost. So government can buy agricultural machinery and they can provide to farmers by rent or free. This service will very useful to farmers.

In India cooking gas is very costly. the government provide alternative cooking gas service in the rural area in a minimum cost.Agricultural animal wastage are convert to natural cooking gas and natural fertilizers for farmers. the government should start more and more cooperative societies . the cooperative societies will collect animal waste from farmers. and giving cooking gas with a minimum cost and they sell fertilizers to minimum cost to the farmers. it will save the money of the farmers.

In India minimum knowledge of preservation of foods . So government should start More and more co operative food preservation go downs in all major areas. government should involve to purchase agriculture products and sold in the government co operative societies in major cities. agricultural preservation go downs and marketing is very important.

User friendly software should be designed which provides general information on front page with request to login by using farmer’s card (could be unique identification card/number) along with password or finger print. Voice recognition is greatly appreciated. Upon login, farmer should be provided with his land asset details restricted to that village. Also, farmer should be provided complete loan (gold/agriculture/horticulture etc.) statement in detailed form. to be cont.. in document!
