The economy of our country is totally dependent on agricultural success or failure. Farmer, the backbone of agriculture is in panic condition as he is not getting precision agriculture information leading to less crop yield. But now, in the era of Digital India, we can form the union of farmers through networking, and make the precision agriculture information reach the farmers through ICT. In this paper, we have discussed about how ICT can be used to reach precision agriculture information to the farmers to get high crop yield and to get high crop rates. Through our software, the latest agricultural technologies will be introduced to the farmers and scientific precision farming will be recommended to them. Major factor for getting high crop yield is soil test. Each farmer's soil has to be tested and based on that specific precision information relating to each farmer's soil like type of crops to be grown, amount of fertilizer to be used, type of irrigation and latest farm equipments is sent as specific SMS to each farmer by NGO. This unique idea helps the farmers to get high crop yield and intern there will be economic growth of our Nation.
