Kartika Deore, Akanksha Kolekar

Abstract


The main purpose of the study was to understand the extent of awareness in farmers about the use of IT. As we know, In the 21st century various technologies are invented. Modern agricultural methods are followed by farmers to some extent but most farmers are still unaware of these technologies. Lack of awareness and lack of education is the problem so this is time to train and spread awareness in farmers about IT in agriculture. The Research is on a survey of farmers to check their IT awareness so that we can get to know issues and we can provide a solution for the same. Some difficulties start from the place of determination of the right yield, purchasing the necessary seeds and composts, guaranteeing sound and market prepared to harvest, till the purpose in finding the right market to analyze that the product is sold in the market at its best cost. It is hard for a rancher to anticipate the climatic changes as this is the main variable in guaranteeing the appropriate development of the yield. Additionally, at some random point on schedule, the greater part of the ranchers are unconscious with regards to substitute harvest arrangements to manage the unpredictable environmental changes. Getting legitimate great quality seeds and composts at sensible rates is likewise a challenge. When the harvest is prepared for market, selling the produce straightforwardly to the client, or through a way least dealt with by center men will require generous difficult work from the rancher's end. The strategy for least dealing with by center men would allow the rancher to sell their produce at a value that will be valued by the client and gainful to the rancher. In any case, to limit these difficulties to help the ranchers to create beneficial reap Information Technology can be applied in a major and methodical manner. The genuinely necessary job and utilization of Information Technology for in this Agriculture area would be done using effectively accessible innovation choices, without obstructing the typical working of the cultivating local area. The use of IT services will provide Farming people and their groups to create required and financially advantageous crop harvest. The review would assist with understanding the job of Information.
