Forum The Role of ICTs in Sustainable Crop Production Intensification (SCPI) of horticulture crop based system (mainly fruits, vegetables, roots and tubers)
What are the specific constraints you have faced in the use of ICTs for sustainable intensification of horticulture crop base
I am explaining my view, which I faced during implementation in various ICT projects.
1. Organisations are highly technical to develop best solutions for any type of location, community or audience, technologies do not face any road block for successful implementation.
2. Farmers and SHGs are very acceptable for any new idea, they learn very fast.
3. Internet and Mobile network unavailability is an issue to some places but offline solutions help to overcome it, we did it.
4. Major issue is Government bodies, they take maximum time to accept and implement any project, inter Government organisation collaboration is almost impossible, unless there is not direct order from top bosses.
5. Officers attitude and line of reporting is big issue, they do not accept instruction from a junior officer, government procedures on payments aspect is very complex and slow.
