Abstract
The Indo-UK Advanced Technology Centre ofExcellence in Next Generation Networks, Systems and Services development effort, analyses the technological challenges faced aswell as discusses the feedback obtained from early field implementationand focuses on what needs to be done in future toscale such systems. (IUATC) is trying to address the future challenges identified bytheUK Government under the Digital Economy Theme and theDepartment of Science and Technology in India. One such areain rural India where Information and CommunicationTechnologies (ICT) networks can have a major impact is Agriculture. This paper presents a new approach to building andAgricultural Advisory System aimed at bridging the informationgaps that exist between farmers and extension workers andagricultural scientists in a country like India. It demonstrates thepower of two-way mobile phones today, which when combinedwith innovative methods could provide services to farmers thatcould not even be envisaged till yesterday. The customized andpersonalized advisory becomes especially important in the Indiancontext, where 52% of the population depends on agriculture butgenerates merely 13.9% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP).With fragmented landholdings, the number of independentfarmers has risen to 88 million with near-stagnant productivity.Growth-acceleration is possible only with customized advisory. Today mobile and mobile based applications have become a part of our day to day life. With the revolution in mobile computing many great features were added to the field and the mobiles got smaller, faster and better as the decade passed. It gave rise to the introduction of new mobile based operating systems where the programmers where presented with open source operating system named “ANDROID”. With the introduction of android the programmers were free to program freely and with the much awaited programming language as the programmers did not have to learn anything new. The android was a classic mixture of java and mobile computing. Thus a model integration of ANDROID platform with a desktop application can be utilized for developing a E_FARMING application which will help farmers the information needed in day to day life to help make farming better.
