The Digital India Corporation’s (DIC) Interactive Information Dissemination System (IIDS) is a model that integrates a smartphone app, toll-free IVRS, and interactive portal to provide farmers with agriculture-related information. IIDS is a push-and-pull system that allows farmers to access information about services they’ve subscribed to using their mobile phones. The IIDS platform is also available on desktops and laptops for other users. The IIDS is part of the Kisan Sarathi program, an Information Communication and Technology (ICT) interface solution powered by the DIC and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). Kisan Sarathi aims to provide farmers with a seamless, multimedia, and multi-way connection to the latest agricultural technologies, knowledge base, and subject matter experts. The DIC has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) to integrate IIDS with Kisan Sarathi to reach many farmers across India. IIDS has already been deployed in the North Eastern states, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana
The Digital India Campaign (DIC) Integrated Information Dissemination System (IIDS) is a transformative initiative to empower farmers with timely and relevant information through various communication channels. This system enables farmers to receive critical agricultural updates, advisories, and solutions, helping them make informed decisions to enhance productivity and sustainability.
Farmers Registered
“Farmers Registered” refers to the total number of farmers enrolled in the DIC IIDS platform to receive agricultural information and advisories. Registration typically involves farmers providing their contact details, crop information, and other relevant data to ensure they receive tailored advice.
Applications:
Text SMS Sent
“Text SMS Sent” refers to the number of text messages sent to registered farmers through the DIC IIDS platform. These messages typically contain crucial information on weather forecasts, pest control, market prices, and best agricultural practices.
Applications:
Voice SMS Sent
“Voice SMS Sent” refers to the number of pre-recorded voice messages sent to farmers through the DIC IIDS platform. These voice messages are particularly useful for illiterate or semi-literate farmers who cannot read text messages.
Applications:
Advisory Solved
“Advisory Solved” refers to the number of queries or issues raised by farmers that have been successfully resolved through the DIC IIDS platform. This indicator tracks the effectiveness of the advisory services provided through SMS, voice messages, or direct consultation with agricultural experts.
Applications:
The DIC IIDS platform is critical in empowering Indian farmers by providing timely, relevant, and actionable information. The indicators “Farmers Registered,” “Text SMS Sent,” “Voice SMS Sent,” and “Advisory Solved” are essential in measuring the platform’s reach, inclusivity, and effectiveness. As the agricultural sector continues to evolve, these indicators will be instrumental in ensuring farmers have the tools and knowledge they need to thrive in an increasingly complex and dynamic environment. Understanding and optimizing these indicators will be key to enhancing the platform’s impact and supporting the sustainable growth of India’s agricultural community.
