Impact of a Information systems on farmers in India
Introduction
The agriculture market accounts for over 35% of GDP and employs around 70% of the population.
As per recent studies the turnover of the total food market is approximately Rs.2,50,000 crore (US$ 51.5 billion)
The agricultural industry also assumes significance owing to India's sizable agrarian economy.
India and Indian knowledge workers are the most sought after the world over as they have proved to be best with analytical skills and problem solving
India is becoming a knowledge superpower within a span of 2 decades which itself speaks of India’s strides in this field
The IT exports in 2002-2003 is Rs.46,100 crore(US$ 9.5 billion) and expected to touch Rs 58,200crore (US$ 12 billion) in 2003-2004
Statement of the problem
The agrarian community though the largest and most vital part of Indian economy is facing massive problems,
� The country's infrastructure and policies were so far not conducive to profitable disbursement of the food surpluses generated. Scientific harvesting, storage, transportation, processing and exports are still under-developed areas,
� Its own mismanagement and reliance on outdated technique and farming practices, lack of water management leaving the Indian farmers exposed to risks and losses.
� The Strides made in Indian IT sector has not benefited largely the Indian agrarian economy. There is very few information system available to the farmer to help him improve his working conditions.
� Can IT help Indian Farmers?
