Summary:

THE RESEARCHER PROPOSES THE MOBITECH PROJECT FOR THE ICT BASED RURAL EDUCATION PROGRAMME.

The objective of this Research is to help in finalizing the scope of the Mobile Base Technology Solution for Indian Rural Farmers. It is necessary to keep track of time and changes in technology. It is always a challenge to keep pace with the ever-changing expectations of the farmers and end users amid new ICT channels and technologies. Today farmers are aware of what they want. They also have a variety of options. Now it has become important for the Rural Farmers to understand their end customers better and use this understanding to cultivate superior quality crops, agro-based products and services as per the changing customer needs. This is to build abiding relationships that extend beyond the product/offering to the end users as well.

It is also necessary to understand the competitors, customers and vendors who already have started deploying such technologies to boost their sales in the market.
