Abstract

Major Indian population about 65-70% follows agriculture as their profession for their living. New opportunities are being created by using smartphone technology for farmers. A mobile application is a software designed specifically for use on small, wireless devices, such as smartphones and tablets. Android is an open source development platform that it is easily available to any programmer who has the knowledge of Java and Android SDK. This particular software helps the farmers to gain facilities which were not available to them before. Now-a-days, the smartphone technology is being used in many applications like health monitoring, weather - predictions, etc. It is also used in the field of agriculture. Kisan Nestham is an android-based application, which provides information to farmers regarding different crops and other agricultural products.
