Profile of the state - Karnataka
Karnataka is located in South West part of India. Karnataka has a total geographical area of
19.17 m.ha and lies between 74o -78°30' east longitude and 10°58- 18°30' north latitude in
the peninsular India. It was created on 1 November 1956, by States Reorganization Act. This
day is annually celebrated as Karnataka Rajyotsava (Formation Day). Karnataka was known as
the State of Mysore originally. It was renamed as Karnataka in 1973. It is the land of the
Kannadigas, Tuluvas, Konkanis and Kodavas. The capital and largest city is Bangalore. (Source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karnataka)
Karnataka is bordered by the Arabian Sea to the west, Goa to the northwest, Maharashtra to
the north, Andhra Pradesh to the east, Tamil Nadu to the southeast, and Kerala to the
southwest.
The state covers an area of 191,791 square kilometers, 5.83% of the total geographical area
of India. It is the eighth largest Indian state by area. With over 61 million inhabitants (2011),
Karnataka is the ninth largest state by population, comprising 30 districts. Kannada is the
most widely spoken and official language of the state.

1.1.1 Geography
The state has three principal geographical zones The coastal region of Karavali
 The hilly Malenadu region comprising the Western Ghats
 The Bayaluseeme region comprising the plains of the Deccan plateau
The major portion of the state is in the Bayaluseeme region, the northern part of which is the
second-largest arid region in India. The highest point in Karnataka is the Mullayanagiri hills in
Chickmagalur district which has an altitude of 1,929 meters (6,329 ft).
The two main river systems of the state are Krishna and its tributaries (Bhima, Ghataprabha,
Vedavati, Malaprabha, and Tungabhadra) in the north, and the Cauvery and its tributaries
(Hemavati, Shimsha, Arkavathi, Lakshmana Thirtha and Kabini) in the south. Both these rivers
flow eastward and fall into the Bay of Bengal.
Karnataka consists of four main types of geological formations — the Archean complex made
up of Dharwad schists and granitic gneisses, the Proterozoic non-fossiliferous sedimentary
formations of the Kaladgi and Bhima series, the Deccan trappean and intertrappean deposits
and the tertiary and recent laterites and alluvial deposits. Significantly, about 60% of the state
is composed of the Archean complex which consists of gneisses, granites and charnockite

rocks. Laterite cappings that are found in many districts over the Deccan Traps were formed
after the cessation of volcanic activity in the early tertiary period. Eleven groups of soil orders
are found in Karnataka, viz. Entisols, Inceptisols, Mollisols, Spodosols, Alfisols, Ultisols, Oxisols,
Aridisols, Vertisols, Andisols and Histosols. Depending on the agricultural capability of the soil,
the soil types are divided into six types, viz. red, lateritic, black, alluvio-colluvial, forest and
coastal soils.

1.1.2 Climate
Karnataka experiences four seasons. The winter in January and February is followed by
summer between March and May, the monsoon season between June and September and
the post-monsoon season from October till December. Meteorologically, Karnataka is divided
into three zones — coastal, north interior and south interior. Of these, the coastal zone
receives the heaviest rainfall with an average rainfall of about 3,638.5 mm (143 in) per
annum, far in excess of the state average of 1,139 mm (45 in). Agumbe in the Shivamogga
district receives the second highest annual rainfall in India. The highest recorded temperature
was 45.6 °C (114 °F) at Raichur and the lowest recorded temperature was 2.8 °C (37 °F) at
Bidar.
About 38,724 km2 of Karnataka (i.e. 20% of the state's geographic area) is covered by forests.
The forests are classified as reserved, protected, unclosed, village and private forests. The
percentage of forested area is slightly less than the all-India average of about 23%, and
significantly less than the 33% prescribed in the National Forest Policy.

About Karnataka Agriculture
Agriculture plays a vital role in economy of Karnataka. Karnataka is heavily dependent on the
agricultural sector. About 1.8 m ha area of the state is under irrigation which constitutes
about 16 percent of the gross cropped area. The main crop under irrigated conditions is rice
which shares about 40 per cent of the irrigated area (Table 3). Maize, sugarcane, groundnut
etc. are other crops grown in irrigated areas.
The Government has, assigned very high priority to agriculture.

Karnataka – Fisheries Sector
Karnataka state emerged as a maritime State in 1956 with the reorganization of the states. An
independent Department of Fisheries was set up in 1957. Since then, the Department of
Fisheries has been consistently striving hard for overall development of fisheries and of
fishermen by implementing several developmental schemes both in Marine and Inland
sectors.
The fisheries sector plays an important role in the socio economic development of State, in
view of its contribution to the food basket, nutritional security, large foreign exchange
earnings, employment generation and income.
The fish production in Karnataka was around 2.0 lakh tons in early eighties and reached to a
peak of over 3.0 lakh tons in mid nineties. The average fish production in the last 5 years is
about 2.73 lakh tons with the contribution of Marine sector being 64 % and Inland sector 36%.
The fish production from the state contributed about 4.8 % of India’s total fish production.
The current level of per-capita fish availability in the state is about 5.3 kg.
The Gross domestic product of the state (GSDP) has witnessed a steady increase over the
years. The contribution of Fisheries Sector to GSDP at current prices during 1993-94 was Rs
16,316 lakh and it has increased to Rs 92,318 lakh in 2006-07.

Gaps and Issues with current System
No single point for complete information
Stakeholders have to access multiple websites for information relevant to different
sections
More often than not, the knowledge of which website to access is not available
Issues with information not being updated regularly – thus outdated information being
provided which may not be relevant

State Agricultural Portal – Perspectives
The Portal would be developed as a Mission Mode Project under the National e-Governance
Plan of the Government. The objective behind the Portal is to provide a single window access
to the information and services being provided by the Department of Agriculture and all other
departments in agricultural sectors for the farmers and other stakeholders. An attempt has
been made through this Portal to provide comprehensive, accurate and reliable and one stop
source of information about Agriculture and its various facets. Links to other websites and
sources of information too will be provided.
The content in this Portal will be a collaborative effort of various Indian Government
Ministries and Departments, at the Central/State/District level.
The scheme orientation that has traditionally been the mechanism for addressing the needs
of the farmers has been changed in light of achieving the overall objectives of the project by
providing a service orientation to them. This essentially means that the government under the
Agriculture Mission Mode Project would provide services in addition to the existing schemes
and programmes of the Central and State governments, which would be integrated in nature.
This also implies that in the proposed scenario no matter if the services originate from the
Central or the State government, they would be provided through a single delivery interface
to the farmer.
The key recommendations for the services, in the proposed project provide the accessibility
to the following information and sub services to the farmers:

Providing information on crops

Providing information on pesticides

Providing information on fertilizers

Providing information on seeds

Providing information on soil health

Providing information on crop diseases

Providing information on forecasted weather

Providing market information on prices and arrivals of agricultural commodities

Grievances Redressal Management and Expert Advisory System
3.4.1 As-Is Process
The current system for Grievance Management is manual. The process is as described below





Farmer registers grievance with officer at RSK(Raitu Sampark Kendra)
If the grievance can be addressed at RSK level, the officer provides the solution /
information to the farmer
In case the RSK officer is not able to handle the grievance, letter or application is sent
to Taluk ADA
In case the Taluk ADA is not able to handle the grievance, application is forwarded to
District DDA or JDA who resolve the issue or further forward the application to State
Department of Agriculture in Bangalore
RSK Officer is informed of the resolution from the Taluk/District office or Department
of Agriculture. RSK officer informs the farmer.
In some cases, farmer needs to travel to the Taluk / District office for resolution
The farmer can call the Kisan Call Center. The steps are as described below.
 Farmer calls Call Center
 Agent registers need for advice
 Agent refers the Knowledge Management System
 Agent offers advice
Issues with Current System
 Process is manual
 RSK officer is single point of contact
 If issue not resolved at RSK level, then
o Either, farmer has to wait for information to be provided by Taluk / District
office. This often leads to delay in issue resolution
o Or, farmer has to travel to different offices. This also leads to delay in issue
resolution in addition to the hazards of travelling faced by farmer.

User Characteristics
The users of the State Agricultural Portal have been specified in section 3.1. The users of the
State Agricultural Portal will be people with various technical and non-technical backgrounds.
Applications will be primarily used by the Farmers, Officials of Village Panchayats, Block
Panchayats, District Panchayats, State Agriculture Departments, Private and Government
Institutions, Agencies, Dealers, Call Centers and Ministry of Agriculture. Apart from these
users, some of the reports can be viewed by other Central Line Ministries/Departments and
also the common man, farmers and NGOs for the purpose of information and social audit.
The Government Officials at District and block level are being provided with basic working
knowledge of computers under various capacity building programmes, however they are not
very familiar with computer based applications. Accordingly, the user interfaces will be
intuitively designed so that these are fairly simple, easy to use and self-explanatory. The
software should allow the users to switch-over to local language so that all the textual
elements are displayed in local language for better understanding and effective use. The State
and Central Ministry users are already working with computers and are fairly conversant with
computer based applications.

The software will facilitate the farmers and the other users who are having any disability to
read and understand the textual elements by receiving voice messages in their local language
and the images related to the text mouse over, wherever necessary.
The user interface of the State Agricultural Portal will include radio buttons, tables, forms,
pull-down menus, submit buttons, etc, all features that are conform W3C XHTML standard.
Any user with a basic understanding of the Internet and knowledge about his/her browser
software should be able to make use of all the available functionality of the portal.

developed and centrally hosted.
2. The users will be accessing the software application using various connectivity
scenarios.
3. As the application will be used by all the Blocks, Districts and State Agriculture
Departments, Central Government departments, Private Institutions, Dealers,
Agencies, KCCs, farmers etc. the no. of application users and concurrent users will be
very high as mentioned in Non-Functional Requirements. The software should also
scale-up as per the growing requirements. The software has to take into account all
sorts of communication environments and slow communication links.
4. The application will support only Unicode enabled fonts for local language
representation.
5. The State Agricultural Portal will need to interoperate with other software applications
which are being developed as part of Mission Mode Project including Central
Agricultural Portal and State Agricultural Portal indicated in Non-Functional
Requirements.
6. The State Agricultural Portal will be constrained by the minimum hardware
specifications that are likely to be available in the production environment.
7. The stakeholder groups (farmers, private sector and the government) could use the

7. CONCLUSION
The success of the State Agricultural Portal lies in the efficient delivery of services to the
farmers. In measuring efficiency it would be important to understand the processes within
and outside the government framework. Private sector brings with itself a large experience in
providing services to the farming community at the field level; and the government brings an
in-depth knowledge of the bottlenecks that it may face during the delivery of the services. By
creating a common platform for both public and private sector to assimilate their resources
and create an exchange by means of which services can be provided to the farmers, would
amount a natural success of the proposed initiative.
