“Raita-Mitra”-Agricultural Information System

Abstract
This project is focused on developing an agricultural informative

application which is a mobile application that serves its users by

providing information about the crop marketing strategy, weather

details, government schemes and machine availability. The main

features provided by this application include information retrieval

facilities for users in the form of obtaining statistical information

about fertilizer, climate conditions, news and machine availability for

corresponding crops. In addition, this provides individual information

about inter-crops related to main crops. The system not only provides

the retrieving facilities but also the updating facilities to the

authorized persons. Java is used to create the front end for the system

and SQL server is used at the back end. Accessing the database is

done by using SQL queries for the retrieval and update. The

communication between the front end and back-end is achieved

through Ms SQL Server. Admin will be given appropriate username

and the password

Existing system

In the existing system the awareness for the farmers is only possible

through the man to man dealing. Also not have enough knowledge
l

about organic farming safety and problem of using chemical

fertilizers. The awareness programs conducted by the government are

not coming as a beneficial thing to the farmer. Mostly the problems in

the agricultural area are not visible in front of the agricultural experts

of the government. A farmer can only ask questions related to the

farming activities directly with the proper communication. When the

communication done through the mobile phones there is a problem in

previously communicated activities. The system cant help farmer in

critical times where access to an agricultural expert is not

forthcoming or due to unavailability of agricultural extension worker

in the field.

DISADVANTAGES

➢ The system can’t help farmer in critical times where access to

an agricultural expert is not forthcoming or due to unavailability

of agricultural extension worker in the field.

 ➢ The collected information may be not valid for Current

Situation.

➢ Data Error may Occur while collecting information

Proposed system

The development of this project prototype can help most of the

farmers in rural areas to get information just by download-ing the

application in their smart phones. To make farmers aware of all kind

of information related to agriculture on daily basis.

l

Developing a user friendly agricultural information system which

fulfils the user requirements. Database updating can be done by

authenticated users. Monitoring and baking up data-base and user

details for future use. Any user can retrieve data from the application.

Authenticated officers given permission to update and modify

information. Farmers can easily get the updated information anytime,

anywhere through this online application
