Agriculture is one of the most important sectors in India, and could benefit tremendously with the applications of ICTs especially in bringing changes to socio-economic conditions of the poor in rural areas. Achieving these benefits requires proper institutions for ICT adoption and utilization. Therefore The current state of major Indian institutions (ICT and rural policies) using document analysis is evaluated against supporting progress in areas of the horizontal side of the "cube framework" in rural India. Major finding is that The Five Year Plans, National ICT and Telecom Policies are developing in the right direction and government initiatives are increasingly maturing, but may lack some specific solutions. (original abstract)

Rolnictwo to jeden z najważniejszych sektorów Indii, który może w znacznym stopniu skorzystać z zastosowania ICT, szczególnie dla budowania zmian w warunkach społeczno-gospodarczych biednych regionów wiejskich. Osiągnięcie tych korzyści wymaga odpowiednich instytucji, które wspierałyby przyswajanie i wykorzystanie ICT. Podjęto próbę przedstawienia obecnego stanu głównych instytucji Indii, aby ocenić je pod kątem budowy dogodnego środowiska dla przyswajania i wykorzystania ICT w regionach wiejskich Indii. Stwierdzono, że pięcioletnie plany polityki narodowej dotyczące ICT i telekomunikacji rozwijają się w dobrym kierunku, a rządowe inicjatywy stają się coraz dojrzalsze, ale brakuje im specyficznych rozwiązań.
