India is essentially an agrarian society and basically depends on agricultural outputs. It is therefore essentially that the technology thrust should lay greater
emphasis on the transfer of scientific and technological information from the research institutes to its actual users. Libraries and Information Centres are
playing a very important role in providing information to the users by building print and electronic collection. In India, direct application of computerized
information systems to the farmers is not feasible in the present conditions.
