FM Radio
About service
Agriculture is the mainstay of the India’s economy and 74.73 per cent
of the people are rural. As much as 49 per cent of the land area is
cultivable. Being capable of producing the best crops, India now seeks
the role of IT based solutions for disseminating information on various
agricultural related topics in villages of India. Unfortunately,
information on market prices, weather, quantities traded, and other
marketing-related matters rarely reaches farmers in developing
countries. Farm radio would appear to represent an important way of
overcoming this problem. This paper briefly presents a way in which the
information can be broadcast to the farmers by the means of Local FM
Radio channel. It suggests how radio stations broadcasting to farmers
could offer agriculture related information.
