Gram Sandesh Transmission-a web based information system for farmers

This paper presents the experimentation done in order to flourish a low price and impressionable information system to provide useful information to farmers in a timely manner so as to assist their decision making process. The primary reason behind development of this system was to automate the flow of information to farmers since agriculture is the backbone of our country. Gram Sandesh Transmission is a web disciplined system which targets all sort of audience by means of its ios application (for iphone users),android application(for android users), messaging server(for basic mobile handset) and gsm based led boards (for those who don't owe a mobile handset). Farmers are provided with weather related information on daily basis so that necessary decision regarding sowing of seeds, weeding, harvesting, irrigation could be taken. The system warns with any disaster related information so that necessary steps could be taken. Another module of the system deals with providing “Sarkari Mandi Bhaav” (Govt. Market Price) and thus reduces the chances of fraud prices quoted by middleman to farmers.
