Evidence from India: Impact of mobile phone technology on the performance of agricultural extension services

The effect of mobile phone increased involvement in agricultural extension delivering services in India is investigated in this research. The quantity, quality, and speed of delivering services have all increased substantially as a result of the intervention, according to the statistics. There are additional advantages in terms of increased knowledge and awareness of new agricultural techniques, farmers’ desire to experiment with new technologies in the future, and financing availability. Farmers from low-income and low-education backgrounds are not discriminated against in the system. As a result, a well-utilized technology system aided by trained village youngsters may be used to promote inclusive development. The fundamental source of development is vertical innovations produced by a developing research industry, according to an endogenous growth model. The quantity of research in each period is decided by the anticipated amount of research in the following period, according to a forward-looking difference equation. Creative destruction is one cause of this intertemporal connection. In other words, the possibility of greater future research deters current research through threatening to suffocate the rents generated by current research.
