Introduction• E-agriculture• It is a relatively recent term in the field of agriculture and rural development practices.

Consistency in the use of this term began to materialize with the dissemination of results from a global survey carried out by the United Nations (UN). This survey conducted in late 2006 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) found that half of those who replied identified “e agriculture” with information dissemination, access and exchange, communication and participation processes improvements around rural development. In contrast, less than a third highlighted the importance of technical hardware and technological tools.

• E-agriculture, therefore, describes an emerging field focused on the enhancement of agricultural and rural development through improved information and communication processes. More specifically, e-agriculture involves the conceptualization, design, development, evaluation and application of innovative ways to use information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the rural domain, with a primary focus on agriculture.

Page 4: Bibhu santosh behera,ph.d ouat,bhubaneswar,india

Mission and Objectives• The e-Agriculture Community of Practice is a global initiative launched in

partnership with the e-Agriculture Working Group in 2007 to enhance the role of ICT in agricultural development and food security. It provides an international framework to facilitate the processes of capturing, managing, and disseminating the lessons learned through national and regional activities, as well as the results and implications of multilateral processes related to the use of ICT in agriculture and rural development. The e-Agriculture Community also provides the basis for the international community to monitor development and validation of conceptual models and meth- odologies, and to package and disseminate them once tested. Through its collective activities some additional outputs of the Community include: the development and strengthening of innovative mechanisms and processes for information exchange and communication, including normative guide- lines and tools being formulated, tested and disseminated to address the range of demands and capabilities of different Com munity members; empowering networks for exchange of new mechanisms and processes among key stakeholders; relevant content in digital format being developed, filtered, mobilized and exchanged by community members; and other activities based on active partnerships and collaborative lesson-learning.

Page 5: Bibhu santosh behera,ph.d ouat,bhubaneswar,india

Deliverables• The e-Agriculture community has over 6,000 registered individual

members. This membership encompasses development practitioners, policymakers, representatives of farmer organizations, researchers, and information and communication specialists involved in agriculture and rural development, from more than 150 countries. The Community activities comprise three components: a web-based multilingual space (English, French and Spanish) for knowledge sharing and collaboration on a neutral domain (e-agriculture); face-to-face events; and in- country interventions.

Over this past year, e-Agriculture Community members from around the world participated in activities such as online forum discussions (virtual meetings), international and regional meetings, and free online capacity building opportunities (through the IMARK partnership). Participation from both the private sector and non-UN organizations was also secured.

Research MethodologyAs it is a reviewed article, here the researchers were collected data from

secondary sources like Books, Journals, and Web sources to translate and transform the research into action in the realm of Human Development by ICT.Here the author is using Ex-post facto design to collect the data base regarding implementation, execution of Research Project. Stratified random sampling is used here due to various agro climatic zones. Basic statistics and common instrumental design is used here.

Page 7: Bibhu santosh behera,ph.d ouat,bhubaneswar,india

Future Plans• It is envisioned that the e-Agriculture Community will grow in

2020 by building upon the current successful knowledge sharing functions, and developing an interconnected series of pi- lot interventions, models of action and means for assessment, based on inputs from the e-Agriculture Community. Lessons learned from the national and regional components can be captured and disseminated through the e-Agriculture Community, and through other major participating institutions in support of capacity building. In order to facilitate this effectively, the establishment of a formal Secretariat with some financial commitments from partner organizations is deemed essential.

Recent Advancement in India• The application of ICT in agriculture through various organizations which has been

evolving with various initiatives in order to encompassing the all agric value chain and knowledge technology. The prominent ICT technologies are-ITCs, E-choupal, Eid Partys agriline, gyandoot project Information village project of M.S.swaminathan research foundation (MSSRF)I-Kisan project of Nagarjun group of companies.

• Kisan Call centre, Bhoomi Project, Village knowledge centre etc.Operating well throughout the country.

• Good data and information can be an important tool for decision making and for taking action by the farming community. ITcs will serve as a predominant role for fulfilling the needs of a Second green revolution.

Page 15: Bibhu santosh behera,ph.d ouat,bhubaneswar,india

Agriculture and ICTs in IndiaAgricultural Strategy for Eleventh Plan, Planning Commission, Government of India, has pointed out that with the

availability of land and water fixed, the goal of 4% growth in agriculture can be achieved only by increasing productivity per unit of scarce natural resources through effective use of improved technology. It is planned that alternate delivery channels spanning Rural Knowledge Centres (RKCs), ICT-based extension, farmer-to- farmer extension, NGOs and the private sector should also be promoted simultaneously. The scheme--’Mass Media Support to Extension’ aims to utilize the impressive infrastructure of Doordarshan (DD) and All India Radio (AIR) for producing and broadcasting agricultural programmes for supporting other extension efforts. The National Agriculture Policy emphasizes upon the use of Information Technology (IT) for achieving a more rapid development of agriculture in India. The Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, therefore, is in the process of preparing a National e-Governance Plan in Agriculture (NeGP-A) for a more focused implementation of e-governance activities in the agriculture sector. In order to promote e-governance in agriculture at the centre and provide support to states/UTs for the same, the Department of Agriculture and Co- operation is implementing a central sector scheme, “Strengthening/Promoting Agricultural Information Systems’ during the Tenth Plan with a budgetary provision of INR 100 crore. The scheme has the following components: (i) Development of agricultural informatics and communication; (ii) Strengthening of IT apparatus in agriculture and cooperation in states and UTs

(AGRISNET); (iii) IT apparatus at Department headquarters and its field offices; (iv) Agricultural Resources Information Systems (AgRIS); and (v) Kisan Call Centres. The Department has developed four portals and 40 websites covering both headquarters and its sub-formations under the component “Development of Agricultural Informatics and Communications”. Some important portals which has till now been developed are: (a) AGMARKNET Portal (http://agmarknet.nic.in); (b) DACNET Portal (http:// dacnet.nic.in); (c) DAC Portal (http://agricoop.nic.in); (d) IN- TRADAC Portal (http://intradac.nic.in); (e) SEEDNET Portal (http://seednet.gov.in); (f) Agricultural Census Portal (http:// agcensus.nic.in). The Department of Agriculture and Cooperation is supporting e-governance activities at the state agriculture and allied departments through AGRISNET, a state sector mission mode project, which aims at providing improved ser- vices to the farming community using Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Agricultural Resources Information System (AgRIS) project has been launched for implementation in two pilot districts of Rohtak (Dairy Typology) in Haryana and Banaskantha (Arid Typology) in Gujarat. Kisan Call Centers initiative aims to provide information to the farming community through toll-free telephone lines. Usage of GIS satellite imaging in India had been happening since a long time in India

Page 16: Bibhu santosh behera,ph.d ouat,bhubaneswar,india

Initiatives of e-agriculture in India as a Case study

• • The Association For People of Haryana (AFPOH) has taken many steps and initiatives at national and

international level in the fields of agriculture, health, rural infrastructure development, revitalizing financial access to rural farmers, etc. As far as initiatives for e-agriculture in India are concerned, they have shared their research works and suggestions with national and international community. They have also started an initiative titled e-agriculture in India that would endeavour to amalgamate ICT with agriculture in India.

• • - AFPOH is a social initiative by an association of people who are working in the direction of empowering the

marginalized and deprived people in rural and other areas. The area of operation of AFPOH covers segments like agriculture, health, banking, finance and insurance, education, rural infrastructure development, power, etc. AFPOH has strengthened the use of IT in agriculture by extending support for legal and regulatory measure that farmers and other people may face in various situations.

• • AFPOH using ICT for its mission and objectives AFPOH is working in the direction of use of ICT for

communication and sharing of views, expertise, suggestions, problems, etc at national and international level. AFPOH intends to provide a ‘voice’ to the marginalized and deprived segment so that national and international communities can coordinate and collaborate their empowerment initiatives. Concepts like e-agriculture, e-health, e-learning, e-commerce, e-banking, etc are also some of the initiative that are in the process of implementation by AFPOH. Warana Weired Village and Digital Green Projects may be taken as Successful Case Studies in India.

Initiative of e-Agriculture at State Level•

• ITC's ‘E-Choupal’ Initiative: A Novel Model for Rural India

ITC's ‘e-Choupal’ makes use of the physical transmission capabilities of current intermediaries - aggregation, logistics, counter-party risk and bridge financing With a judicious blend of click & mortar capabilities, village internet kiosks managed by farmers - called sanchalaks - themselves, enable the agricultural community access ready information in their local language on the weather & market prices, disseminate knowledge on scientific farm practices & risk management, facilitate the sale of farm inputs and purchase farm produce from the farmers’ doorsteps .The aggregation of the demand for farm inputs from individual farmers gives them access to high quality inputs from established and reputed manufacturers at fair prices. As a direct marketing channel, virtually linked to the ‘mandi’ system for price discovery, ‘e-Choupal’ eliminates wasteful intermediation and multiple handling. Thereby it significantly reduces transaction costs. Launched in June 2000, 'e-Choupal', has already become the largest initiative among all Internet- based interventions in rural India.'e-Choupal' services today reach out to more than 3.5 million farmers growing a range of crops - soyabean, coffee, wheat, rice, pulses, shrimp - in more than38,000 villages through nearly 6500 kiosks across nine states namely Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Uttaranchal, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Kerela.

Page 18: Bibhu santosh behera,ph.d ouat,bhubaneswar,india

Summary and Conclusion• The role of Information Technology to develop e-agriculture and quality of

life in rural area is well established. IT can help an average Indian farmer to get relevant information regarding agro-inputs, crop production technologies, agro processing, market support, agro-finance and management of farm agri-business. The agricultural extension mechanism is becoming dependent on IT to provide appropriate and location specific technologies for the farmers to furnish timely and proficient advice to the farmers IT can be a best mean not only to develop agricultural extension but also to expand agriculture research and education system. Now Farmer Demand Driven e-governance Mediated and ICT Propelled Agriculture must create a new history and revolution for achieving Vision-2050 hence be expected.
