International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges &<br />

Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad<br />

Conclusion<br />

This study provides some inputs for formulation <strong>of</strong> policy for bridging the yield gaps existing in several<br />

districts practicing rainfed agriculture which eventually helps in reducing the burden <strong>of</strong> importing<br />

oilseeds and pulses and addressing the threatening food and nutrition security in India.<br />

Bridging yield gaps is recognized as an important element <strong>of</strong> the strategy for raising<br />

productivity and farm incomes. Identifying and targeting districts, the administrative units at<br />

which most <strong>of</strong> the development planning and resource allocation is done in the country, where<br />

considerable yield gaps exist will be useful in planning interventions needed. With this,<br />

districts with considerable yield gaps were identified (Raju et al., 2013,2018) and was made<br />

available in the form <strong>of</strong> a Decision Support System (DSS)(http://www.icar-crida.res.in:8129/.).<br />

In this scenario, it is expected that integration <strong>of</strong> ICTs in agricultural extension will provide<br />

needed impetus to agricultural sector and ICTs can complement the traditional extension<br />

system for “Knowledge Resource” delivery to the millions <strong>of</strong> the farmers (Saravanan, 2010).<br />

To facilitate this mobile based technology dissemination in agriculture provides significant<br />

opportunity for farmers and extension workers to work together more effectively. Mobile<br />
