ICTs for agriculture knowledge management: insights from DHRUVA, India

ICTs are being increasingly used in Agricultural Knowledge Management (AKM). In spite of rapid development, still there are major challenges to be addressed in this sector. In this paper, we made an attempt to understand flow and management of knowledge and KM process in agricultural organization. For this we have developed a preliminary framework based on the review of existing literature on Knowledge Management. This framework was used for an exploratory study of Dharampur Utthan Vahini (DHRUVA), which is non-profit organization. From this study, we emerged with questions - will a formal KM process/model using ICTs lead to any improvement in the overall functioning of the agricultural organization? And what would be the constraints faced by organization in implementing formal KM systems?
