SUMMARY:Towards building a smartphone-based  system for improving the efficiency of farms in India
DESCRIPTION:Despite the variety of traditional and IT-based agricultural information delivery approaches\, the majority of Indian farmers are not acquiring or provided with actionable agricultural information in a timely and regular manner. A lecture titled “Crop Darpan: Towards building a smartphone-based system for improving the efficiency of every farm in India” will be organised by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering on September 08\, 2021\, at 11.00 am to address the issue of the lab to the land gap in agriculture. Prof P Krishna Reddy\, from IIIT Hyderabad\, will talk about the eSagu system\, an IT-based farm-specific agro-advisory system field-tested on about 50 field and horticultural crops in hundreds of villages. \nSince 2004\, research efforts are being made at IIIT Hyderabad to investigate the building of IT-based agro-advisory systems to deliver actionable agro-advice to every farm field of India in a timely manner. In this connection\, they have built the eSagu system and village-level eSagu system. They are also currently investigating the building of the Crop Darpan system. The Crop Darpan App is available for cotton and rice crops at Google Play Store and Apple App Store. In this talk\, Prof P Krishna Reddy will share the experiences of building these systems and the future plans. \nBiography of the speaker:\nProf P Krishna Reddy is the head of the Agricultural Research Center and a member of the Data Sciences and Analytics Center research team at IIIT Hyderabad\, India.
