Dear Somasegar

I saw that link.That is really very good start. That needs to be reached the Small and marginal farmers.Thanks for the info.

I am helping voluntarily for some of the NGO's(National Agro Foundation which is started by Father of Indian Green Revolution Mr.C.Subramaniam and lead by Mr.Abdul Kalam).

I am creating simple Soil Nutrient Supply Decision Support System which is used to analyse the soil fertility data and helps the Soil scientist to prepare location specific soil nutrient recommandation and to store long term field data for future analysis.

I would like to know anybody from Microsoft or Open source developers are doing these kind of projects.So that I can get some more idea and feature list.

Thanks

Sundar

Hi Sundar,

Digital Green (www.digitalgreen.org) is an organization that comes to mind. They use participatory video and mediated instruction to amplify efforts in agriculture extension, or dissemination of agricultural knowledge that can raise smallholder farmer incomes. The system’s combined technology and social organization consists of locally produced videos of farmers taking up better agricultural practices, and mediated screening sessions in which farmers regularly gather to watch the videos in the presence of a local mediator who frequently pauses the video and provokes discussion.

Agriculture is one of the field which IT forget about it.

Lots of help from IT is needed in the field of agriculture.Unfortunately, due to lack of profit in the field, Nobody is interested. It is the right time to start open source projects for the benefit of agriculture/Rural development. If you publish any organization coordinating this,It would be helpfull.
