The recent advances in technology have enabled the use of electronic gadgets in every day life. The increase in use of mobile phones can be exploited to make them effective tools for e-learning and information dissemination. AgriKiosk project was initiated with an intention to use technology to abridge the digital divide and bring the benefits of technology to the doorsteps of the farmers. In the initial phase, the project was developed for the touch screen devices i.e. kiosk machines to deliver the agriculture information to the farmers in forms of audio, video and text in English and local languages.
