| A
new green revolution is round the corner. At its vanguard is the Tata
Group, one of India's largest private-sector business groups and a
leader in the information technology domain. An innovative project
pioneered by the group's Tata Kisan Sansars (TKSs) is helping small
farmers harness sophisticated modern technology, such as satellite
mapping and geographical information systems,
to enhance the yield from their land.
The
TKSs, or farm centres, provide end-to-end
solutions, right from what crops to grow to how to
sell them for the maximum returns. A unique concept in the Indian
countryside, TKSs are changing the face of Indian agriculture and
improving the quality of rural life.
