words/phrases are given in bo ld to

help you locate them whil e ans wer ing

some of the qu estions .

Rural India faces serious short

ages - power, water, health facilities,

roads, etc. - these are known and

recognised. However, the role of technology in solving these and o ther prob

lems is barely acknowledged and the

actual availabilit y of tec hnol ogy in ru

ral areas is marginal. The backbone

of the rural ec onom y is agriculture ;

which also provides sustenance to over

half the country 's popu latio n. The

"green rev olut ion" of the 197 0s was ,

in fact, powered by the scientific work

in various agricultural research insti 1

tutions. While some fault the green

revolution for excessive exploitation of

water and land resources through

overuse of fertilisers, it did bring ab out

a wheat surplus and prosperity in cer

tain pocke ts of the cou ntry .

In rural India today, the re is adire

inadequacy of bot h science (i.e. kn owl

edge) and technology (which derives

from sci ence an d manifests itself in

physical form). The scop e to apply tech

nology to both farm and non-farm ac

tivities in rural areas is huge, as are

th e potential benefits. In fact, crop

yiel ds ar e fa r lo we r tha n w hat th ey ar e

in demonstration farms, where science

and technology are more fully applied.

Technolog ies tha t reduce power con

sumpti on of pump s are vital; unfortu

nately, their use is minimal, since ag

ricultural power is free or largelysubsidised. Similarly, there is little

incentive to optimise- through technol

ogy or otherwise - water use, espe

cially in irrigated ar eas (a third of total

arable land), given the water rates.

Post-harvest technologies for process

ing and addi ng val ue could grea tly

enhance rural employment and in

comes, but at present deployment of

technology is marginal. Cold storage

and cold-chains for transportation to

mark et is of great imp ortanc e for man y

agricultural products - particularly,

fruits and vegetables - but are non

existent. These are clearly technolo

gies with an immediate return on in

ves tme nt, and bene fits for all;- the

farmer, the end-consumer, the tech

nology provider. However, regulator y

and structural barriers are holding

back investments.

Pow er is a key requ irem ent in rural

areas, for agricultural as well as do

mestic uses. Technology can provide

reliable powe r at comparatively low cost

in a decentralised manner. However

this needs to be upgraded and scaled

in a big way, wit h empha sis on re new

able and non-polluting technologies.

Reliable a nd low cost means of trans

porti ng goo ds and peopl e is an essen

tial need for rural areas. The bullock-cart and the tractor-trailer are present

vehic les of choice. Surely, technolog y

can provide a better, cheaper and more

efficient solution? Information related

to commodity prices, agricultural prac

tices, weather etc. are crucial for the

farmer. Technology can provide these

through mobile phones, which is a

proven technology however the chal

lenge to ensure connectivity remains.

T h u s t he re is a pressing ne ed for te ch

nology as currently economic growth -

though skewed and iniquitous - has

created an economical ly attract ive

mark et in rural India.
