English abstract
The research and developments going on all over the world in agriculture and related areas have caused an information explosion in agricultural sector also. Various information systems on agriculture have come into existence at national and international levels. Our country generates huge quantum of information on agriculture during the activities of thousands of research institutions and programs existing in the country. The information generated by them is of high relevance to our farming community and scientists working for them. For optimal utilization of these developments, this information should be digitized and made accessible through the information systems existing in the country; specifically systems meant for agricultural sector like ARIS. All those in agricultural sector like the farmers, scientists, students, extension activists and administrators should have a quick access to information on agriculture developed locally as well as internationally. For this, proper content development, its organization and management as well as facilitating efficient and speedy access to it are of utmost importance. It is the responsibility of government and organizations putting huge investments for developing and maintaining information infrastructures to ensure that required content is created, maintained and made available to the people without which the investments in ICT development will go waste.
