Integrating our farmers with technology can happen when technology trained people who are mostly living in cities, go to villages and learn about farming. For this one option is to allow the technocrats work nearer to their villages by giving work from anywhere option. In such a case, you will find high tech mobile application developers can develop applications for farmers and use them after learning about farmers or being farmers themselves. Indian languages enabled application is a must.

India has lots of technical colleges and universities . students have extremely high potential of new implementation. Why not we use their talent in the field of agriculture. New user friendly more over farmer friendly system should be evolved . if students serve any private firm after getting job why don't they serve the nation. College often organise vocational training give them project at that time to spent some time with the farmers and develope some system for them to help them in farmi.

Initially train three people from every village to act as facilitator in using latest technology. Not just mobile apps, but also deploy easy to use SMS/IVRS based IT systems as all farmers may not have smartphones. Develop online system which provides latest weather info, good farming practices and allow posting ads for fresh produce with rates. This will also let government know of the current produce levels, help to control inflation and will give farmers direct access to market with profit.

Policy measures for integrating our farmers with technology to give real time information are 1. Training the farmers to access the information first 2. Weather Updates to the mobiles. 3. Mutual conversation facility with Agriculture Scientists 4. Registered former unions by village to unite for marketing 5. Direct Marketing of the Agricultural products and yields to International markets. Mobiles and E-Banking, Broadband, Mutual interaction from field with labs and scientist.

As on independence day speech, you have said about 5 villages from each MP, i would say in stead we need to find 10 villages where in we can set up mobile video conference and connect with agriculture experts so that our farmers can gain huge knowledge. This will ensure about soil testing, soil health and how to cultivate efficiently and can have more crops per season.

Integrating Farmers with Technology One cannot expect all Farmers to have a Smartphone, so the technology should include ordinary phones also.

1. authdocs: an authorized document, a decentralized, innovative approach for e-office implementations. 2. farmdigit: a robust, and innovative approach for agriculture sector for information exchange. Details of the policy, and its implementation is presented here in the attached PDF document.

Connect via logistics and technology producer and consumer. Abolish all laws like APMC acts and related to direct selling of produce by farmers to consumers. ITS a local program - encourage local participation. Technology can be centralized and common. We have successfully tested and working on establishing farm produce to consumer links. www.d2u.in Aim is get better price to farmer, stop all wastage/damage and get fresh produce to consumers. Innovative telecom / apps / GIS mapping is used
