Abstract :
Agriculture in India is one of the major sectors which influence the economy of the nation. From three decades, green revolution brought changes in different phases of farming increasing the total yield rate. Research on machinery, marketing, and variety of seeds, cultivation mechanism and chemicals made agriculture as a growing field in a short period. However, a systematic approach to agriculture is the current necessity which brings out a correct statistics on farmers, types of crops grown productivity and availability of commodities at region wise, which further helps in planning and execution of government schemes in a controlled manner. Since telecommunication industry is already extended in every corner of a village, merging the technical developments with agriculture field is economic. This paper focuses on introducing a model which highlights on a hierarchical bottom up approach for Indian agriculture where different aspects of agriculture are localized. This localization proposal would bring a system in agriculture where a village and a farmer are the initial point of contact and helps to provide a different facet to Indian agricultural scenario using technological advancement.
