Abstract
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.
