Design and Implementation of Messaging System in Agriculture using Cloud Computing

The principal source of national income in India comes mainly from agricultural sector. Agriculture is the backbone of development. About 70% of Indian population is directly involved in agricultural sector. But unfortunately, rural India has been ignored for ages. In India, farmers still follow crude methods of farming that result in low productivity and less profit to the farmers. Hence, there is an immediate need of implementing technologies to modernize this sector. Effective implementation of cloud computing technology in the agricultural sector can have positive impact on agricultural development. Cloud services include the delivery of software, infrastructure and storage over the Internet (either as separate components or a complete platform) based on user demand. Using SaaS service model of cloud computing, a mobile application can be developed that will provide guidelines to the farmers and achieve information management.
