Abstract :
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in agriculture is an emerging field focusing on the enhancement of agricultural and rural development in India. It involves innovative applications using ICT in the rural domain. The advancement of ICT can be utilized for providing accurate and timely relevant information and services to the farmers, thereby facilitating an environment for remunerative agriculture. This paper describes a mobile based application for farmers which would help them in their farming activities. We propose an android based mobile application - Krishi Ville which would take care of the updates of the different agricultural commodities, weather forecast updates, agricultural news updates. The application has been designed taking indian farming in consideration.
