APO International E-Learning Course on

ICT- Based Services for Agricultural Extension

National Productivity Organization (NPO), Ministry of Industries & Production in collaboration with
Asian Productivity Organization (APO) is organizing an International e-Learning Course on ICT-based
Services for Agricultural Extension scheduled from 27-30 November 2017. The main objective of this
program is to review recent trends and applications of ICT (Information and communication
technology) and digital technology for Agriculture extension services (AES) and to study successful
cases of ICT adaptation for the benefit of less-privileged sections of the society such as women, aged
farmers, youth, small farmers in rural areas for inclusive growth and to discuss recommendations and
draft action plans.
OBJECTIVE: People who live in remote rural areas have limited access to appropriate information
on weather changes, the latest market prices of products, and updates on recent sustainable,
innovative farming practices. For such cases, ICT devices distributed to small farmers have freed them
from spatial constraints by receiving and sending data at appropriate times. For example, real-time
weather forecasts delivered to mobile phones provide farmers with the critical time needed to prepare
for and minimize the potential damage from natural calamities. With the convergence of ICT
infrastructure, the methods of AES are also being rapidly transformed through easy interfaces for
users' convenience. Responding to technological advances, this e-learning course will provide an arena
to study and discuss the utilization of ICT in AES and raise awareness of action plans required to
adapt to the future learning environment.
METHODOLOGY: Interactive online Lecture, Group Discussions, live country presentation
