uilt upon a new geo-stationary satellite technology, has now emerged as a cost-effective, easily deployable, and maintainable technology worldwide, to solve both “first-mile” and “last-mile” problems (Figure-3). According to Pioneering Consulting, a leading market research firm, there will be nearly 40 million users for satellite broadband worldwide by 2007. A VSAT based countrywide Network creates a highly reliable, Cost-effective, error-free and flexible information highway compared to terrestrial alternates available in the country. AGRISNET Nodes can be established in Agri-Clinic locations as given Figure-4.

Through these networks, farmers will have opportunity to learn of and benefit from new and improved agricultural practices, to have weather-forecast-based guidance for timely agricultural operations, to be alerted by satellite 41 R.B.Singh, P.Kumar and T.Woodhead (2002): “Smallholder Farmers in India: Food Security and Agricultural Policy”, FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (Bangkok, Thailand), March 2002, RAP publication: 2002/03 57
