    Applications of ICT in Agriculture Sector
    (2016) Parvathi, C
    In modern agricultural systems farmers believe they have much more central roles and are eager to apply technology and information to control most components o f the system, a very different view from that o f traditional farmers. In contrast to the isolation inherent in traditional arrangements, modern agriculture tends to see its success as dependant on linkages and access to resources, technology, management, investment, markets and supportive government policies. This study follows secondary data sources. This study makes an attempt to analyze the various ICT methods for agriculture, to understand the technological issues faced by Indian farmers and to examine the importance o f modern agricultural system. The study reveals that agriculture information methods should be organized and processed and disseminates right information to the right user at the right time. Dissemination o f information like marketing information, package o f practices through mobile and the television could create positive impact o f the production system o f the country. This in turn will promote the agricultural practices supporting to “make in India” endeavor.

    Efficiency of Micro Irrigation System - A Case Study
    (2012) Parvathi, C
    The threat o f climate change and global warming which has aggravated the problem o f water shortage is o f particular concern to India as we are largely dependent on glaciers and rainfall for water supply. Water is becoming increasingly scarce worldwide and more than one-third o f the world population would face absolute water scarcity by the year 2025. Water scarcity in India is predominantly a manmade problem; therefore if India makes significant changes in the way it thinks about water and manages its recourses soon, it could ward off or at least mollify, the impending crisis. A two stage stratified random sampling technique was used for the study. Micro irrigators from Kodumudi block and non-micro irrigators from Vellakoil block were purposively selected. 50 farm households from each block were taken as sample for the purpose o f the study. Appropriate mathematical and statistical methods were employed for the study. The finding o f the study implies that the farmers who adopt micro irrigation system for irrigation have realised increase their crop production, their incomes, and their household food security. The study also concluded that the micro irrigation system had most significant role to achieve not only higher productivity and water use efficiency but also to develop rural livelihood security.

    Impact of Watershed Intervention Technology on Agricultural Farm Households - An Application of Economic Surplus Model
    (2013) Ambiga Devi, P; Parvathi, C
    Watershed hitervention Technology (WIT) is a composite approach to an efficient use of land and water resources so as to get optimum production from them and also to preserve the soil from deterioration and future utility (Ministry of Water Resources,2010). Watershed development structures play a significant role in groundwater recharge. These structures enhance soil moisture regime, enrich soil fertility and thereby promote ecological balance through conservation of eco system. The International Water Management Institute (IWMI) forecasts that by the year 2025, 33 per cent of hidia’s population will live under absolute water scarcity condition. Further the World Bank estimates that by the year 2025, one person in three, i.e, 3.25 billion people in 52 countries will live under conditions of water shortage. Watershed development is gaining momentum and the fanners adopt various watershed inteiwention technologies for their farm activities. Hence this study is an attempt to assess how the watershed intervention teclmology is carried out in selected blocks in Coimbatore district. To evaluate the impact of watershed intervention technology on the economic welfare of the farm households. The model is based on the Marshallian theory of economic surplus (demand and supply). The study established that with WIT the farmers as ‘producers’ realise ‘surplus’ eompared to farmers as ‘consumers’, leading to socio economic upliftment of the farmers. Further the study reveals that participatory watershed management could be a viable strategy of rural development for achieving sustainable rural livelihoods in India.

    A Situational Analysis of Agricultural Production and Food Security in India
    (2013) Parvathi, C
    India achieved impressive growth in food production after tlie adoption of green revolution technology which made the country self sufficient in basic foods. Total demand for cereals is projected to grow to 218.9 million tonnes by the end of the eleventh plan and it would reach 261 million tonnes the year 2020-21. Demand for pulses the same period would grow to 16.1 and 19.1 million tonnes. Besides, the domestic demand for foodgrains is expected to reach 280.6 million tonnes by the end of 2020-21.to meet this demand in foodgrains pulses and cereals. The growth rate in agricultural production has to be substantial. If growth rate in domestic production of foodgrains fails to rise this would create imbalance in demand and supply condition and eventually would lead to increased dependence on import of wheat and pulses. The current paper highlights on the issues such as the trends in population and agricultural production, demand and supply gap and food consumption pattern in India, using the secondary sources of information drawn from various reports.

    Watar Resoucers in India: Critical Issurs and S'l Ratrcic Options
    (2011) Parvathi, C
    Avdilahilily of safe (Ir'mkiiiy^ woicr i.s inodniiiolc. Scvci'c uuilcr shoiioycs hove already led la a ^rowiny, nimiher o f conflicis between users (ay,riciillure, industry, domestic), intra-state and inter-state. Erneryiny^ cliallenyes include nianayeinent o f existing in f'astrnctnrc and o f the water resource itself ll'ater reform in India mostly focuses on organizational issues rather than the instruments that govern the relationship between the regulator and the user. Pm\'ision of canal irrigation and water supple services in India has largely remained with the government agencies. Absence o f enforceable water entitlements at all levels is at the root of service shortcomings, water use inefficiency, un-regulated groundwater extraction, negligence of traditional and low-cost water bodies, financial jirobleins and conflicts which plague the water sector. Faced with poor water supply services, farmers and urban awellers luive resorted to helping themselves by pumping out groundwater, which has ied to rapidly declining water tables: in coasted areas this trend has led to salinity ingress, hinancial crunch has also led to an enormous backlog of maintenance and thereby, inadeeptate /; rformance levels o f irrigation projects. India reepu'res proper design and effective ex ’cution of suitable strategic options. Water is emerging as a national challenge and its most efficient management has to be given top priority in order to meet the future demands of food grains for a fast growing population. Managing water resources is more iin/iortant than managing material wealth.

    Water Pollution - Myths and Realities
    (2014) Parvathi, C
    The study analysed the real facts underlying the problem o f water pollution. Water is one o f the most precious gifts o f nature without which no life could survive on earth. Fresh water resources all over the world are threatened not only by over exploitation and poor management hit also by ecological degradation. The main source o f freshwater pollution can be attributed to discharge o f untreated waste, dumping o f industrial effluents, and run-off fi'om agricultural fields. Industrial growth, urbanisation and the increasing use o f synthetic organic substance have serious and adverse impacts on fresh water bodies. A resource is something that is useful and valuable in the condition in which we find it. The scarcity o f anything denotes that the amount available is limited relative to the amount demanded. Any resource with a positive price must be scarce. I f its availability were unlimited relative to demand, it would be free. The provision o f safe drinking water is a basic necessity for the well-being and socioeconomic development o f the community. Water pollution is a serious threat around the globe. The world has entered the new millennium with an enormous challenge safe drinking water for all. In India, overall water demand will increase from 552 BCM in 1999 to 1050 BCM by 2025, which will require the use of all the available water resources in the country. The study concluded that the most serious problem o f water pollution resulted by human activities. Water pollution is not merely a problem o f India but is common around the globe.
