Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in agriculture is an emerging domain evolving the innovative paradigm for reaching the unreached. The challenge is not simply to increase rural access at a national level, but to connect rural agricultural producers to markets through global information networks. Nowadays, ICT is becoming an important means for societal transformation and emerging rapidly in developing as well as developed countries. Rural development is expanding in new directions wher old ways of delivering important services to citizens are being challenged; and traditional societies are being transformed into knowledge societies across the world.
