Abstract

India's food security depends on producing cereal crops, as well as increasing in the production of fruits, vegetables and milk, to meet the demands of a growing population with rising incomes. The main phases of the agriculture industry include crop cultivation, water management, fertilizer application, fertigation, pest management, harvesting, post harvest handling, transport of food products, packaging, food preservation, food processing, value addition, quality management, food safety, food storage, and food marketing. Since early 90s Information and Communication Technologies are playing a important role in the development process. In the globalization era, India using ICTs to promote their development programs as well as reaches the poor to strengthen their lively hood. The scope and pace of recent change is a function of revolutionary advances in ICTs. ICTs are basically information-handling tools -a varied set of goods, applications and services that are used to produce, store, process, distribution and exchange information for the development of the country. They include the "old" and "traditional" ICTs tool as radio, television and telephone, and the "new" and "advanced" ICTs of computers, satellite and wireless technology and the Internet. These different tools are now able to work together, and combine to form our "networked world" -a massive infrastructure of interconnected telephone services, standardized computing hardware, the Internet, radio and television, which reaches into every corner of the globe. In recent past few years the governments adopting Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) initiatives in rural areas are capable of enabling the governance to achieve rural development and their integration with the grassroots is critical for sustainability. In this paper I want to discuss how the ICT using in eradication of poverty as well as the e-governance performance has been discussed. And also the current ICT initiatives tend to focus on infrastructure development and the extension of information and communication services from the centre to the periphery.
