The IIDS is now being up scaled in three states. It is a multi-platform and multi-mode application. The unique feature of this model is, it enable the scientists to provide personalized advisories based on the farm and farmer profile in the areas of agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry and fisheries. Farmer can record their queries 24x7 through Toll Free Number. Farmers are provided with Text and Voice messages in local language (Telugu) and provides platform for direct interaction with Scientists. This model also facilitated the Scientists of the University to provide alert and emergency messages on their mobile. The impact of IIDS envisaged shift in the Source of Information from friends & neighbors and Input dealers to Scientists. The IIDS has got vast scope for up scaling in all State Agricultural Universities in India to enhance outreach.
