Abstract
Telecommunication in agriculture is an emerging field focusing on the
empowerment of agricultural and rural development in India. It involves application
of innovative ways to use Information and Communication Technologies in the rural
domain. The advancements in telecommunication can be utilized more smartly using
smart mobile phone technology for providing accurate, timely, relevant information
and services by user friendly ways to the farmers, thereby facilitating an environment
for more remunerative agriculture. Mobile technology has quickly become the
world’s most common way of transmitting information in forms of voice, video,
animated messages, photographs, written messages, maps, various data and services
in the developing world. The mobile technology provides the most affordable ways
for millions of people to access information, markets, financial and governance
systems previously unavailable to them. As a result, there has been a global explosion
in the number of mobile applications, facilitated by the rapid evolution of mobile
networks and by the increasing functions and falling prices of mobile handsets. The
mobile technology has potentiality to interlink agricultural researchers, agricultural
extension educationists and farmers.
