In the entire book efforts has been made to explain the practical application of modern ICTs for transfer of agriculture technologies. I have focused on systematic presentation of various ICT tools with their applications by different organizations. Deep understanding of modern ICT tools and techniques would enable extension workers, scientists, teachers, students and researchers to work efficiently for wellbeing of the farming community. The book will prove useful and informative for officials of government and non-government organizations working for transfer of agriculture technology; teachers and students of agriculture and allied sectors; Officials of Krishi Vigyan Kendras and agriculture universities; Scientist and researchers of agriculture extension and rural development. Overall the book is constructive for Teaching, Research and Extension in the agriculture and allied fields.
