Description | Includes bibliographical references. In 1881 Girish Chandra Bose went to London on a Bengal Government Scholarship for higher studies in agriculture. He believed that economic self-sufficiency was possible only through the development of agriculture. In 1886 he set up Bangabasi School for the dissemination and expansion of agricultural knowledge. Girish Chandra was a man of liberal and progressive views. The great contribution of Girish Chandra was in the field of education. According to him Indian agriculture is pre-eminently a petite culture and forms the backbone of the Indian village community of which the cultivator or ryot is the unit. The great problem of agriculture in India is the storing of water in the soil. Considering the soil, the climate, and the other conditions under which they have to work, the cattle are well adapted to the purposes of the ryot. It is true that there is never a dearth of wheat. For western India it is bajra or millet which sustains the entire belt of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. The traditional wells and tank irrigation in India particularly in south and artesian Wells in Rajasthan can be better means of rain harvesting and permanent solution to drought. To sustain agronomy, commercial agriculture has to be encouraged in area specific regions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
