I C T Applications in Agribusiness and Extension Education
Jagdish R.Kadam
In the present era of information technology, no substantial progress in any field is possible without information and communication technology (ICT). In a country like India where the economic fate of the society rests on the improvement in the lot of rural people, who are directly and indirectly depend on agriculture and agro-based industry, a right ICT intervention that could assist agricultural extension in efficient technology transfer and implementation of development programmes to elevate the livelihoods of poor rural families has become prerequisite. It will likely have significant impacts on uplifting agriculture – enhancing agricultural production, better marketing and post-harvest activities, fostering agro-entrepreneurship and above all generating self-employment opportunities, which, in turn, can contribute to poverty reduction.
By focusing on how agricultural extension can use ICTs for improving rural livelihoods, we need to move beyond narrow understandings of agriculturally specific ICT applications.
This book intends to provide essential information on most important aspect of how ICT can be used to ameliorate the gloomy lot of rural poor. It focuses not only on the benefits but also, by and large, the constraints that can be encountered. We hope that this book will be really helpful to the extensionists, agriculture scientists, farmers, stakeholders, agri-business entrepreneurs as well as students ..more

Mahendra S.Bhairamkar
,
V.G. Patil
The Self Help Group is considered as a viable organization of the rural poor particularly women for delivering micro credit in order to undertake entrepreneurial activities. Some of the SHG managed by the rural poor women successfully demonstrated how to mobiles and manage thrift activities, appraise credit needs, enforce financial disciplines, maintain credit linkages with banks and effectively undertake income generating activities. The functions of SHG showed that the poor as a group are quite credit worthy and repayment of loan is quite satisfactory. The joint liability of the group enables the poor to overcome the problem of collateral security and also has in-built mechanism of peer monitoring leading to better loan recoveries and productive credit utilization.
The book also makes an attempt to understand the efficiency level of Self Help Groups and constraints in smooth working of Self Help Groups. The book also helps to identify the members for Self Help Group in Rural India. ..more
