IIDS would be the technical platform used for delivery of personalised advisories through KVKs in Kissan Sarathi. IIDS is a push- and pull-based system where agriculture-related information can be pulled from the farmers using mobile phones. IIDS is a combination of smartphone application, interactive portal, and IVRS. A mobile interface is at the front end and a web interface is at the back end. Data is transmitted through voice, text, images, and videos from both ends (farmers to expert and back). This system provides options to farmers to subscribe to the various services. Farmers will then receive individual needs-based information for only those services to which they have subscribed. Farmers have an option at a later date to either select more services or unsubscribe to some of the existing services. The system is connected to a centralized database, which has all information on the farm, farmer, and previous transactions. The experts at the back end (the web application) have access to the farmers’ database while responding to the farmers’ queries.

Unique Selling Point of IIDS
The calls from the farmers are received at the centralized server and routed to the relevant expert. The query information is saved for building context for later queries by the same farmer or other farmers in the local area. The agri-expert has access to the knowledge database of information available and linked with the system. In turn, the expert understands the farmer or the field problem in a better way and facilitates in providing an appropriate solution (Know You Farmer).

Beneficiaries of IIDS:
i) Agriculture Extension Department: The extension division at each State or any other agency can register their KVKs stations and monitor all the query & advisory being received and given by them.
ii) KrishiVigyanKendras (KVK): Any KVK can cater location specific problems of their farmers by using the IIDS system. The coordinator can assign & monitor the jobs to the field extension workers and subject matter specialists for providing agro advisory services.

Facility has been given to offer agro advisories (in various domains) to the farmer backed by his farm history & his query which may be an image or voice or text of the farmer. The expert has access to knowledge database of information available / linked with the system. In turn, the expert is able to understand the farmer / field problem in a better way (KYF – Know Your Farmer) and facilitate in providing appropriate solution to the farmer.
iv) Farmer: Farmers are the end users of IIDS and as per the study the most commonly available, accessible and preferred ICT gadget for farmers is Mobile phones. Thus the system is developed keeping this factor in mind which can cater the basic and value added multimedia agro advisory services to all types of mobile user farmers, independent of their network providers.
