  • the description of eSagu is as follows ( Figure 1): The farmers are the end users of the system and can be illiterate. A coordinator is an educated and experienced farmer who is stationed in the village. Each coordinator is attached to eSagu local center which contains few computers and a computer operator. Agricultural Experts possess a university degree in agriculture and are qualified to provide expert advice. Agricultural Information System is a computer based information system that contains all the related data. Communication system is a mechanism to transmit information from farms to agricultural experts and vice versa. If enough bandwidth is not available, photographs from the village to the main system can be transmitted through courier service. However, the advices (text) can be transmitted from the main system to the local center through dial-up Internet connection.
  • eSagu The operation of eSagu is as follows, A team of agriculture experts work at the eSagu (main) lab (normally in a city) supported by agricultural information system.
  • One eSagu local center (few computers and one computer operator) is established for a group of about ten villages. Educated and experienced farmers (who are from the villages) work as coordinators. Depending on the crop, each coordinator is assigned with a fixed number of farms. The coordinator collects the registration details of the farms under him including soil data, water resources, and capital availability and sends the information to the main eSagu system. Every day, the coordinator visits a fixed number of farms and takes four to five photographs for each farm. A CD is prepared with the photographs and other information and transported to the main system by a regular courier service.
