Agriculture continues to be the most important sector of the Indian economy and
agriculture is a more or less a compulsion for livelihood of million of farmers. Land and
water resources have almost reached their limits, price of commodities are fluctuating
almost every day, profit are negligible for most of the marginal and small farmers and
most of all getting information is cumbersome. In Indian most of the population is
dependent on agriculture so there is a need to review and revitalize the mechanism for
updating the technology. Majority of the Indian farmers are small-scale producers and are
often unable to access the information and technological resources that could increase the
yield and lead to better prices for their crops and products. In order to tackle this problem
the wide spread network of mobile phones came to the rescue. The mobile phone based
solution helps in farm management, leading improvement in agricultural yield and helps in
care/maintenance of the farms thus leading agriculture field to its zenith. In present day
agriculture, soft resources like knowledge and skill are as important as hard resources like
inputs, and sometime more important. But estimate indicate that 60% of farmers do not
access any source of information for advanced agricultural technologies resulting in huge
adoption gap. The requirement of field level extension personnel is estimated to be about
1.3-1.5 million against the present availability of about 0.1 million personnel
