English abstract

Dr. Michael is an internationally acclaimed figure in the field of Water Resource Development and Management. He is known for developing irrigation systems, which minimise water loss. He established his position as an institution builder of high repute in agricultural sector of India.Beyond all this he is one who first initiated projects that can harness the power of ICT for agricultural education, research, extension and development and laid the foundation for applying Agricultural Informatics to prepare the sector in India for the networked society. Actually the developments that resulted in the establishment of Knowledge Management Systems like Shodganga, KrishiPrabha etc have roots in the innovative ICT projects he initiated in nineteen nineties when such systems are not even dreamed off. Even after three decades the higher education and research systems especially for agriculture could not envision or implement ICT compliant systems, which he achieved.
