Education and Generating Awareness

♤ Technological empowerment through pro-poor digital interventions needs to be carried out

♤ Agriculture should be introduced as a subject in school curriculum and computer education should be an important part of Agriculture Education System.

♤ Development of digital libraries in rural areas can play an immense role in providing adequate learning environment, imparting literacy to rural communities and in transfer of agricultural technologies to farmers

♤ In India, farmers are reluctant to move away from their traditional methods. They do not want to utilize the system, even if the cost incurred by them is very low. Thus, it is necessary to change the attitude and mindset of the farmers and make them aware of the benefits of ICT in agriculture.
