SDG CONTRIBUTION


 

In 2008, Tata Consultancy Services pledged to develop a customized online public information system for farmers in rural India. Farmers would be able to access agricultural advice and pricing information at village "knowledge portals", which will be made available in 100,000 Indian villages. This initiative will increase agricultural productivity, stimulate local micro-enterprise, and significantly reduce rural poverty across India.
