University takes technology to farmers
The persistent grouse among the agricultural academia is the poor percolation of farm information to the grassroots. Lab-to-land transfer of latest agricultural technologies is inadequate.
Even with 52 State Agricultural Universities,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], more than 100 institutes of Indian Council of Agriculture Research and 572 Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) across the country,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the flow of information to the farmer is very poor.
Realising the fact that bringing the farmer to the technology is a daunting task,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the e-Extension Centre of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) has taken the technology to the farmer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], putting to optimum use Information and Communications Technology (ICT).
The State has 30 KVKs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], out of which 14 come under TNAU. The University has a server linked multiple video conferencing system, established with financial support from National Agricultural Development Programme (NADP). This links the university with the 14 KVKs, 36 research stations and 10 colleges.
According to E. For this, each centre of the university is provided a computer with Web cam. A server linked URL ID is created by each individual using the centre's name and identification name.
With the conferencing facility,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the farmer can come to one of the 60 centres at his convenience,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], use the centre's log in and have interface with any other centre or the university itself or just get information from the portal.
The scheduled meeting timings are informed to farmers to enable them get connected,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Even those who cannot attend it live can get to see the recorded version later,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
technologies in agriculture have started flowing in. Except a handful of enterprising farmers many remain ignorant about these. ICT intervention is very much needed to bridge this gap. Unfortunately, the agriculture sector has been the last to adopt this route,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mr. Vadivel says.
What is unique about the project is that the whole system has been devised by the agricultural scientists themselves,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The screen of the conferencing computer is able to show 13 layouts at one time (13 centres of the university).
The University is now planning to extend the conferencing facility to all block offices and also take the portal and conferencing facility to mobiles,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The ultimate aim is to see that access is just a finger touch away for the farmer a touch screen facility in every block office is the University's next step in the ICT ladder,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
