This document discusses how ICRISAT, an organization focused on semi-arid agriculture, is working to end hunger through knowledge sharing and innovation using new information and communication technologies (ICT). It highlights ICRISAT's programs and initiatives that develop open educational resources, personalized advisory services for farmers, and an ICT-enabled "Knowledge Cloud" platform. The goal is to transform agricultural education and extension by connecting researchers, educators, farmers and markets through mobile and online tools in order to improve food security.

Virtual world technologies & new tools for supporting climate risk decision m...Helen Farley
Digital technologies already serve an important role in the delivery and communication of agricultural information, complementing and expanding the reach of conventional extension services. However, sophisticated digital platforms and their applications in learning environments offer new opportunities which may significantly enhance agricultural knowledge exchange.
This paper reports on a project that uses cutting-edge advances in virtual world technologies to develop web-based virtual ‘discussion-support’ tools for the rapid sharing of targeted climate information. These tools are designed to provide a stimulus for discussion, enhanced decision-making and improved climate risk management on farms. The project uses the Second Life virtual world environment to create customized scripted video clips (machinima). These feature real world settings and lifelike avatar actors who model conversations about climate risk and key farm operational decisions relevant to the lives and practices of specific groups of farmers. The system has been trialed with Indian cotton farmers and Australian sugarcane farmers. Further large scale evaluation in a range of agricultural systems will inform continual improvement of the approach.
With improved internet access and uptake of mobile technologies, these tools have potential to provide new cost-effective options for real-time information exchange at local, regional, national and even global scales. Such tools may enhance rapid and effective needs-based knowledge sharing, capacity building and online learning opportunities within the agricultural sector; provide increasing opportunity for discussion around risk, decision-making and implementation of sustainable farming practices; and enable agricultural industries to become lead innovators in blended digital and ‘in person’ extension and outreach. Improved climate risk decision-making and management in agriculture is critical to the well-being and long-term sustainability of farming communities and future global food security.

e-Agriculture: Global Community of Practice on use of ICTs for agriculture & ...FAO
e-Agriculture is a global Community of Practice, where people from all over the world exchange information, ideas, and resources related to the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for sustainable agriculture and rural development.
With over 8,000 members from 160 countries and territories, the e-Agriculture Community is made up of individual stakeholders such as information and communication specialists, researchers, farmers, students, policy makers, business people, development practitioners, and others.
This presentation was prepared and presented by my student Rahul Krishnan on 2013 at the College of Agriculture (KAU), Vellayani, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala., as a part of his PG credit seminar taking much pain to collect materials from different sources.
The Indian farmer and personnels working for their welfare needs to be empowered to face the emerging scenario of application of e-agricultural extension dynamically in many spheres as possible thereby opening up of agricultural markets, intelligence gathering and minimizing fluctuations in an agricultural environment and helping farmers to exploit possible opportunities for exports. IT in agriculture can play a major role in facilitating the process of transformation of rural India to meet these challenges and to remove the fast-growing digital divide. The existing bottlenecks in undertaking the tasks need to be addressed immediately. A national strategy needs to be drawn for spearheading IT penetration to rural India. A national coordinating agency with an advisory role can act as a catalyst in the process. No single institution or organisation alone can succeed in the task of e-powering farmers and rural India. At the same time, scattered and halfhearted attempts cannot be successful in meeting the objectives of ICT in agriculture. Industries with a major stake in villages, such as agro-allied sectors with due support from the government, should come together to provide both the initial and final impetus.

Use of the Internet to spread dementia awareness and to support dementia care...Swapna Kishore
The Internet is a powerful tool to reach people. Internet usage is growing in every country, especially because of Internet on the smartphone. Unfortunately, this tool is often neglected or underutilized by volunteers and professionals working in the dementia awareness and caregiving domain. Our current methods of reaching out families affected by dementia are unable to cover many segments of society, and the Internet is a tool we cannot afford to neglect any more.
This presentation was made in the Asia Pacific Regional Conference of Alzheimer’s Disease International, held on 7-9 November, 2014, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi, India. It discusses the possibilities and limitations of using the Internet to make information available and also to support families coping with dementia. It covers topics relevant to persons considering whether and how to use the Internet. These include content creation approaches and criteria, and how to increase the reach of online resources and services. The talk also covers aspects like community building, maintenance of online material, and how online resources can complement other modalities used for awareness and support. The presentation briefly discusses how organizations can approach the project of developing online resources.
This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.

16. Agriculture and Allied Areas
In 1960s, the establishment of Agricultural Universities in India, on the pattern
similar to that of the Land Grant colleges of the United States (integration of
education, research and extension), contributed a lot in boosting the
agricultural growth from 51 million tons in 1950 to about 257.13 million tons
(MT) in 2013-14.
The model has shown a direction in reorganizing and strengthening the
agricultural education system in India and also helped in bringing diverse
subjects in the course curriculum integrating provision of hands-on practical
exposure to the student.
Now, the percentage of students pursuing agriculture as an undergraduate or a
post graduate degree or PhD, remains amongst the lowest as a comparison to
the other streams (All India Survey on Higher Education, MHRD). Reasons…
Outdated curriculum,
Unavailability of good quality faculty members
Requirement of reorienting the agricultural education
according to the changing scenarios at national and
international level etc.

“Last time our whole groundnut crop was destroyed due to
unexpected rain, but this season a voice message received from
Krishi Vani on weather forecast saved our crop as we were able to
harvest three days ahead of the original harvest date. It saved us our
season-long efforts and hard work.”
“We used to take advices and recommendations from
agricultural input dealers and received mixed results. But now
with ICRISAT’s Krishi Gyan Sagar – personalized information
advisory services, we are getting precise application
recommendations in our farms. It saves money and gives us
better yield and income.”
