This book examines the social organization of agricultural information through Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), with particular focus on the e-Sagu initiative in united Andhra Pradesh. It explores how ICT-mediated agricultural extension transforms knowledge production, communication, and relationships between farmers, experts, and institutions. Drawing on field-based research, the study highlights e-Sagu’s need-oriented and two-way communication model while examining the influence of social inequalities, trust, participation, caste, and landholding on access to information. The book offers valuable insights into how technology can reshape rural knowledge systems and contribute to the Sociology of Science and Technology.
