English abstract

Surveys the application of computer and communication technology to manage information for agricultural research, education, extension and development in India. Covers the institutions supported by CGIAR, ISNAR, ICAR and similar organizations. Critically evaluates existing research and development systems in the agricultural sector under Government of India, State Government and State Agricultural Universities. Points out that the failure to modernize library systems to function as the heart of agricultural information systems has resulted in the ineffectiveness of our major programmes in the agricultural field. The need for integration of library, information and extension is stressed. Attitudinal changes required are discussed and suggestions for improving the situation put forward.
