Management Information System in context of Food grains: An Empirical Study at Eastern Maharashtra

Abstract

The research article aims to know the role of Management Information System in Food grains (Soyabean and Tuwar) in Eastern Maharashtra. Indian Government in its market liberalization plan emphasized on the priority to the development of a market information system (MIS) which could be utilized by traders as well as to deliver frequent information by media on current market price and availability.In collaboration with NIC, the IT project department has created several vital software programs to assist farmers. This study aims at management information systems in the context of food grains (soyabean and tuwar) in Eastern Maharashtra. To ensure that the research design aligns with the research objectives, the researcher has made sure that the instruments used in the study are objective oriented such as Measure of central tendency and Z statistic. The result of the study suggests that because of technical complexity, end-users underestimate the agricultural information system's utility. Because of lack of agricultural knowledge, assistance for people information financing as a key priority in cultivation may dwindle. Farmers should have easier access to public information by increased funding for public information. More interactive information sources might persuade traditional farmers to embrace more modern farming techniques.
