Department of Agriculture & Cooperation (DAC, 2002) 65 proposes “reforms in agricultural extension” on wider-scale as follows: - • Policy reforms • Institutional restructuring • Management reforms • Strengthening Research-Extension linkages • Capacity building and skill upgradation • Empowerment of farmers • Mainstreaming of Women in Agriculture • Use of media and ICT • Financial sustainability • Changing role of Government 13.16 In the Indian context, emergence of an e-Farmer 66 is the need of the hour. Synergetic collaborations among Cooperatives, Agricultural Produce Markets, Agri-Clinics, Agri- Business Centres, and AGMARKNET could become the “pathways” to rural prosperity. The Agricultural Extension System is expected to be “an Agricultural Knowledge & Information System using Geomatics Technology” in India. Development of Agricultural Extension XML (AeXML) is an essential requirement. The proposed VISTARNET of NIC is based on this proposition. 65 Department of Agriculture & Cooperation: “Policy Framework for Agricultural Extension”, Extension Division, Ministry of Agriculture, New Delhi 66 e-Farmer : A farmer, who knows the market situation world over, has unhindered access to the markets and technology and also possesses access to meteorological information, and extension advice can be considered as adequately equipped to enter the world of global partnership. He will then be free to deal with the problem of, at least operative consolidation of fragmented land holdings, backlog in technology and feeble infrastructure. 76
14. Conclusion 14.0 This paper draws input available from published documents as well as from Internet resources. Good Governance and institutions are indispensable for sound agricultural and rural development in developing countries. Models of e-Government (i.e. digital government) are continuously evolving and improvising to harness the potential offered by the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and deal with new realities in the area of governance, through out the World. Design of en e- Government for the Poor should encompass an integrated model of the Generic Models of e-Government viz., Broadcasting / Wider-Dissemination Model, Critical Flow Model, Comparative Analysis Model, E-Advocacy/ Lobbying and Pressure Group Model. An appropriate “Geometry of Information Flows” will facilitate direct benefits rather than trickle-down benefits for the disadvantaged community (i.e. the Poor). This model should be based on what Abraham Lincoln said: “Government of the People, Government for the People, and Government by the People”. 77
