| Abstract | Enhanced agricultural methods can help to improve low productivity agriculture sectors of developing countries. In Sri Lanka, where the country is experiencing a rapid pace of development, the agriculture sector is beginning to appreciate the benefits that can be gained by merging agriculture with engineering. The use of electronic, communication, and information technologies has proven to result in productivity improvements in agriculture, but most developing countries are yet to adopt new technology due to financial and social restraints. Maintaining optimum levels in the microclimate of a crop is a key factor that affects the quality and quantity of its yield. By controlling the said microclimate, crops can be managed more effectively. The monitoring system that controls the surrounding environment must have the flexibility of addressing the diverse requirements of different cultivations, must be simple and reliable enough to operate, and most importantly must be affordable for the average farmer. In this paper, we present a method to develop a cost effective wireless sensor network that enables monitoring of an agricultural space from a single location, while enabling it to adapt to various types of cultivations. It also investigates the feasibility of establishing and promoting affordable agriculture electronics in Sri Lanka. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
