In spite of so many reforms and initiatives introduced by the government of India in the past decades, the quality of information provided to the marginalized farmer is uneven.

This paper introduces an advisory, information and financial system available on mobiles, which is designed for farmers to help them stay on track, avoid troubles, and receive all the latest and updated information, government schemes and strategies related to the field of agriculture. Information System has tools forecasting schedule that creates a systematic schedule for farmers for crop cultivation based on the weather predictions. This proposed idea is to ensure that the farmer plan their resources properly and also suggest a sequence of tactical decisions throughout a production cycle.
