Agri Help Line


Agri Help Line

Objective:
The objective of the project is to design an agriculture portal which provides solutions to farmers and agriculture students. The farmers can know about government schemes and market information.
Existing system:
The present systems are inadequate in providing information and advices to the needy farmers and students. Often farmers are compelled to rely on local information sources and count on their own experiences regarding crops and markets. Soil analysis is not done scientifically, with any authorities available to authenticate data.
Proposed system:
The proposed system is a web based application through which farmers and students can access the required information. (The system maintains details of government loans and insurance schemes. The system helps farmers to make decisions on market and prices. Farmers can access salt and fertilizer analysis for a particular region). The system provides solutions to queries and problems faced by farmers. The system also helps students to access the information for their research and academic purposes.
Users of the system:
·        General public ,
·        Farmers
·        Agriculture students
·        Agriculture officers and
·        Administrator
Modules:
The system is proposed to have the following modules along with the functional requirements.
Administrator module:
Administrator does individual profile management from all kinds of users. Administrator coordinates online query handling for all users.  General queries are handles by administrator and specific queries are forwarded to agriculture officers. Administrator facilitates communication between users, experts and general public through forums, chat, mail and polls. Administrator is responsible to publish information about major crop markets and their current price. Administrator also drives awareness about various government schemes.
 Agriculture officer module:
Agriculture officer conducts basic soil analysis for all regions and provides suggestions on which fertilizers to use and in how much quantity. Officers also suggest which crop, herb or vegetable can be grown in which area and in which season. Officers handle online queries from users. Officers can schedule trainings and publish it online.
Farmer module:
Farmers must register with the system to avail the services and access the information. Farmers can send their queries to either administrator or officers. When possible, farmers can also interact with experts and general public.  Farmers can also post their views and opinions. Farmers can access soil analysis reports. Farmers can request training online.
Student module:
Students must register with the system to access information. Students can interact with officers and experts to gain knowledge regarding agricultural practices. Students can access soil analysis reports. Students can request training online.
