ICT enabled Information Centres to boost dairying - A case from India (Paperback)

In India, a large number of innovative initiatives in the area of ICT have been undertaken by the government, non-governmental and private sectors to take ICT to agrarian community. In spite of number of projects oriented towards the transfer of technologies through ICTs, still the acceptability and utilization of ICTs is very low in the rural areas. This created the need of investigating knowledge, benefits, level of satisfaction and constraints in utilization of ICT-Village Information Centres by dairy farmers.An attempt was caried out to evaluate the effectiveness of these initiatives pertianing to transfer of technology for dairy development. The study revealed the extent to which the rural people and farmers are actively involved in harnessing ICT enabled VICs and will focus on the factors affecting the use of ICT enabled VICs.The content of this book will be helpful to policy makers, Government and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), development professionals and other agencies, who are working for the rural development through the use of ICTs. This study may serve as a guide for further researchers who may examine impact of Village Information Centers in similar context
