My name is Lingala Naresh and I completed my graduation in electrical engineering from Hyderabad. After my graduation, I did farming because of few family problems and that period taught me many lessons to understand the different farmer issues in India. Based on my personal experiences I prepared one project for farmers to fight against their problems. My project idea is to make farmer as digital literate and help them to utilize revolutionary IT benefits. For, this project Idea I got selected Kanthari international fellowship program in Kerala. This is eight months training program and it will provide training to the participants to convert their project ideas into reality and.
