Application of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for rural and agricultural development in India has been advancing quite rapidly over the last decade. This book is unique in that it contributes to the field of ICTs for development in two main ways. First, it emphasizes significance of ICTs in agriculture along with the existing initiatives in India for information empowerment of farmers. Secondly it also gives a perspective of challenges encountered in information dissemination and strategies which can be initiated for strengthening the information system in agriculture.
