ABSTRACT

According to Bill Gates, it is mandatory for all the people to take the help of Information Technology to increase and to promote their business. Agriculture area is one of the sectors where Information Technology is not sufficiently utilized. So the objective of e-MANDI is to make our farmers to make use of Information Technology. In the current scenario of agri based market, dissemination of Mandi rates is not promptly available. Being competitive globally requires information and new knowledge from beyond the conventional boundaries of local communities and markets. During the green revolution public sector extension met almost all the information needs of farmers. Most information needed was of local relevance and technological in nature. For the emerging challenge of market oriented agriculture, existing agricultural extension systems cannot meet the demands for new information. New agricultural information systems are now needed to satisfy the emerging demands from agricultural communities and agri-business. We are developing an application on an electronic agricultural market making the market more convenient for the use of farmer. It collects the current market price of the product and notifies the farmer. This application also provides details about fertilizers, remaining capacity of different warehouses, addresses the farmer grievances. It has been built with number of features for easier use.
