Socio-Economic Impact of Mobile Phones on Indian Agriculture |
|
|
This paper investigates a series of questions that explore this topic: What kind of
information do farmers value the most to improve agricultural productivity? Do
mobile phones and mobile-enabled agricultural services have an impact on
agriculture? What are the factors that impede the realisation of the full productivity
enhancing potential of mobile phones? The answers to these questions have important
implications for mobile operators, for information service providers, and for policymakers.
The quality of information, its timeliness and trustworthiness are the three
important features that have to be ensured to enable farmers to use it effectively to
improve productivity. [ICRIER WP No. 246].
