Despitenumerous advanced scientific technologies, we are still at the mercy of some uncontrollable natural calamities. A tropical cyclone is one of the most devastating hydrological disasters among them. Along with violent wind, torrential rain, high wave, destructive storm surges and coastal flooding, the cyclone is responsible for considerable losses to Indian agriculture. After all, farmers are informed, aware, and cope with these difficulties successfully with past experiences, warn through various ICT tools, social media and organizational sources (Pratik and Vinaya, 2022). The study was carried out with a specific objective to determine the utilization pattern of information sources in the cyclone’s early warning stages. Purposively the state of Odisha was selected because it is vulnerable to cyclonic events. 8 villages from 2 coastal districts of the state were considered for the study, and 20 respondents from each village made the sample size 160. The primary data was collected through a well-structured interview schedule and analyzed using appropriate statistical tools. Results divulged that Television was available to 96.25 percent of the respondents, followed by Mobile phones (71.25%), Smartphone (67.50%), Radio (35.63%), Laptop (22.50%), Personal computer (14.38%) and Tablets (5.53%). TV news was the major social media with mean score (3.55) ranked first, followed by SMS (3.50) and Whatsapp (3.26) which the majority of the farmers regularly retrieve information. In contrast, Blog, with a mean score (2.04) was the least used social media by a small proportion of farmers to gain information before cyclones. With comparision to information access through various social media sources, independent variables such as Education, social participation, annual family income, source of credit were found to be positively significant at 1% level of significance, p<0.01, while mass media exposure and extension contact were at 5% level of significance. In the community, there were 5 primary organizational sources, out of which 51.87% of respondents informed through all of the organization where 19.38% of respondents were from 4 sources, followed by 11.88% from 3 sources, 13.75% from 2 sources and 3.12% from a single source. Early warning and information create a great advantage in dealing with such climatic vagaries.

“…Successful dissemination of knowledge and widespread adoption of technology necessitates the use of effective communication strategies. To enhance the knowledge of dairy farmers regarding the adoption of an innovative approach, practical communication tools are essential for extension workers to address the challenges posed by illiteracy and traditional practices prevalent among farmers with limited resources [42]. The CD-ROM is a storage medium that, when used in conjunction with a microcomputer, provides expedited access to a substantial amount of data, including text, sound, computer graphics, animation, slides, and motion video, all of which are synchronised.…”

In the Indian economy, the livestock sector contributes 4.9% of the overall GDP, accounting for around 30.13 per cent of the country's agricultural GDP. India has the worlds largest livestock population, but the average animal productivity is low; yet demand for livestock products is rising steadily, and customers’ awareness of quality has also increased. Therefore, it is necessary to refocus the production system by figuring out what information cattle farmers currently need. The animal husbandry department can only meet some livestock farmers' information needs. A multi-stakeholder online network across the livestock value chain is required to meet these information needs. Systems with ICT capabilities are better suited to deal with these problems. Radio, television, mobile, fixed, computer and network hardware and software, satellite systems, and video conferencing are all considered part of information and communication technology (ICT), a broad term covering any communication device or application. These include delivering information in the form of audio, data, video, and images, among other things. It is very beneficial for boosting the economy, creating jobs, developing rural areas, and reducing poverty. In modern times, ICT has become essential to the development of cattle. This article discusses using ICT technologies to spread animal husbandry technology among Indian farmers.

Rice followed by wheat is the dominant cropping system in the middle Indo-Gangetic plains (IGP). Lower productivity (4.8 t ha−1) of this cropping system in Bihar, compared to the national average (6.8 t ha−1) due to several climate- and production-related issues, is a matter of concern for the farmers and the policymakers. Keeping all these in view, an experiment with rice–wheat cropping system was carried out during 2020–21 and 2021–22 in 17 adopted villages of 13 districts of Bihar under the Project “Climate Resilient Agriculture Program (CRAP)” to evaluate the feasibility of early transplanting of rice in the month of June with the aim of achieving higher system productivity by early harvesting of rice and subsequent timely sowing of wheat before 15 November with the provision of assured irrigation. In this study, the concept of an innovative community irrigation approach and single-phase 3-hp submersible pump was employed. Long-duration rice variety (150 days) Rajendra Mahsuri-1 was sown during 20–25 May in the nursery and transplanted through puddling operation during 15–20 June in 17 locations. Under delayed conditions, the nursery sowing and transplanting window were 10–15 June and 10–15 July, respectively. Timely sown rice grown with the provision of a community irrigation system achieved a grain yield of 5.2 t ha−1 and 85.8% higher water productivity, compared to late-sown crops. Following the harvest of rice, the HD-2967 variety of wheat was planted in the first fortnight of November and harvested in the first week of April, yielding 4.9 t ha−1 with the application of 2–3 irrigations based on soil type and evaporative demand. Timely harvesting of wheat facilitated farmers of the region to take an additional crop of summer green gram. With an assured irrigation system and shifting planting dates and thereby managing climatic risks, the overall productivity of the rice–wheat cropping system was achieved to the tune of 10.1 t ha−1 with a cropping intensity of 300% for better adaptation and sustainable production.
