Mr. Palla Venkata Rao, Proprietor, Palla Plants and Properties says -

The farmers must have access to latest technologies like internet and videos for better understanding of the latest technologies and innovative trends in the agriculture sector. But the pity is in India majority of the farmers uneducated or little educated. The educated people are not willing to continue the agriculture. So the government and N.G.Os must take steps to improve the education standards of the farmers.

I think updating all the information in the internet may be useful, and it should be linked to any means of TV broadcasting also.

The "Media" I had mentioned earlier is the Internet. There is nothing that you can't get in the internet. Farmers must learn about these technologies and use them to grow their business.

R. Durairaj, CEO and Founder, Mother India Farms says-

Information regarding modern methods of agriculture and post-harvest technology must be accessible and disseminated to all farmers. Internet has come up as an important source of information, which is user friendly and affordable. However, the farmers should have the ability to use Internet. We also get information about organic farming in South American countries, Asian countries etc.

Dr. Venkatesh Devanur, CEO Agri Life says-


Farmers and their children are not averse to technology. 970 million mobile phones are in India and more than 20% of that is Smartphone. TV penetration is almost 100%. Therefore adoption of technology is limiting factor. Availability of cost effective technology for small farmer is the problem.

Dr. Anil, Director (Biodiversity), Community Agro Bio-Diversity Centre says-

Internet is not the only way and it is the least preferred for the rural farmers. Farming in India is mostly done by resource poor farmers. We run a Farmers\' School in the name of an innovative farmer Eldho Baby with idea of learning from farmer to farmer. Such kinds of schools should be visited by the scientists and agro-technicians and develop location specific and gender specific technologies. Multimedia tools like video are effective in reaching out youth farmers in particular.
