Abstract
Usage of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in agriculture focuses on improvement in productivity by timely and precise dissemination of appropriate information to all stakeholders. Web and mobile communication technology has quickly become the world’s most common way of transmitting data and services in the developing countries. As most of the applications developed are either web based and having static information over the time, the need is to have a dynamic model for the information dissemination, which is continuously changing with respect to time and location. Localization of the information is important, as the generic information provided may not be relevant to the farmer’s location. In this work, an effort has been made to conceptualize a system based on local parameters like location, language etc.
