agropedia is a vision which seeks to address lacunae in Indian agriculture knowledge and application, specifically the lack of content, organized information, and extension services which are serious challenges. It has developed delivery mechanisms such as vKVK and KVK-Net, which are a means to connect extension scientists and farmers, based on its web platform which hosts information on agriculture and rural livelihood. The web platform, agropedia, is unique in the agricultural domain as it is semantically organized and enabled so as to assist one in getting exactly what information or service she or he is looking for. Along with content in the library section, certified by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (gyan dhara), it also allows space for interaction, knowledge co-creation (jana gyan) and social networking (chat, blog, forum) making the site dynamic and learning participative.
agropedia has an objective to build up an agricultural knowledge repository for India in the form of textual, audio and video clippings, which is delivered through the web. It wants to make a proper knowledge network among the different actors of the agriculture community by developing an open platform of knowledge sharing in the agricultural domain.
The combination of getting authentic agricultural knowledge and information with the option of sharing own views can hardly be found in any Indian agricultural site. In this sense the process of gathering the wide spread agricultural knowledge and dissemination of this knowledge through e-network is unique.
This site provides the option for more specific search on a specific agricultural topic. In the agropedia one can increase his knowledge as well as can share his agricultural information with others.'Extension Material' includes different types of content, provided or thoroughly checked by the agricultural scientists. Beside this, anyone can create content and share his opinion and experiences through wiki, blogs, forum and online chat. Facilities provided in this site are incorporated by taking into account the requirement of different types of users. Every one can find and use his favourable way for creation and sharing of agricultural knowledge as the contents are provided through different form.
Registration is free and any one can register just by creating an account in agropedia portal.
Presently, all the registered users are able to add content under all the categories.
A:Only the consortium partners have the authority to upload content in the Extension Material. The UAS- Dharwad and ZPD-IV, Kanpur, are the main content providers. IIM Calcutta, IIT-Kanpur and ICRISAT may also provide some content. However, in the Interaction section which includes Agrowiki, Agroblog and Agroforum each and every user can provide content on agricultural related issues. Contributions to the Interaction section are highly encouraged.
A:The users are expected to be extension workers from KVKs and NGOs, agricultural researchers, scientists, experts, academic institutions, organizations, Agricultural Research Stations (ARSs), advanced farmers, traders, retailers, and self-help-group. Anyone with a keen interest in agriculture can access this site, contribute towards it and engage in healthy discussion.
A:Other supporting partners include Food Agricultural Organization (FAO), Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), many ICAR organisations, National Agricultural Research System (NARS),IIT- Madras, some NGOs like WIZMIN, Shramik Bharti, Central Research Institutes, State Agricultural Universities like Acharya N G Ranga Agricultural university (ANGRAU)- Andhra Pradesh, and other agricultural related institutes as National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA), Sri Aurobindo Institute of Rural Development (SAIRD)- Andhra Pradesh (Gaddipalli), TATA-Chemicals. Moreover, some consortium partners are linked with two Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs)/ Agricultural Research Stations (ARSs) each.
IITK works as the provider of technical and architectural wherewithal to develop and host the knowledge management platform, which is the agropedia. IITB and IIITM-Kerala provide specific agricultural services through specific portlets in the agropedia user interface. IITB develops a question answer forum on agriculture, named aAQUA (http://aaqua.persistent.co.in/aaqua/forum/index). The contents for agropedia will be provided by the GBPUAT, Pantnagar and UAS, Raichur. They are also the implementing partners. The NAARM and ICRISAT works as the support partners. ICRISAT is the consortium leader and coordinator who work as a channel for communication and overall impact assessment.
Other supporting partners includes:
- ICRISAT, Hyderabad
- IIM Calcutta
- UAS-Raichur
- ZPD-IV, Kanpur
The URL of the site is- www.agropedia.net
Presently, there are people of three broad areas, as technical background, agriculturalists, and social science background, working together at IITK for developing the AGROPEDIA.The technical experts work on computer programming for developing the basic technological framework of AGROPEDIA. The agricultural experts give focus on developing knowledge models using Concept-map tools and providing some relevant contents in Extension Material, AgroWiki, Blog, and Forum. The social science people help in finding out its impact on users and the existing socio- economic structure with its shortcomings, if any.
The users are expected to be extension workers from KVKs and NGOs. In addition, agricultural researchers, scientists, experts, academic institutions, organizations, Agri..RS, farmers, agricultural workers, traders, retailers, and self-help-group would find agropedia indica useful. Anyone with a keen interest in agriculture can access this site and contribute towards it and engage in healthy debate.
