Recent years have witnessed renewed appreciation that agriculture could play a significant role in the pursuit of Millennium Development Goals. In this context, the role of information dissemination through information and communication technology (ICT) in improving rural welfare is highlighted. However, some fear that with ICT technological disparity will arise, and existing socio-economic inequality and poverty will be further exacerbated. This study will use randomized experiment and surveys before and after the experiment to investigate the impact of ICT on rural welfare in the Indian state of Karnataka. The randomized experiment (or the action research) proposed here involves facilitating information access on key agriculture related services to households in some villages and not in others. Combining data from both surveys and the experiment, we investigate the impact of information dissemination on agricultural practices, household incomes, social network, risk coping mechanism and caste disparity.

近年来，人们重新认识到农业可以在实现千年发展目标方面发挥重要作用。在此背景下，通过信息和通信技术（ICT）传播信息在改善农村福利方面的作用得到强调。然而，一些人担心，随着信息通信技术的发展，技术差距将会出现，现有的社会经济不平等和贫困将进一步加剧。本研究将采用随机实验和实验前后调查的方法，考察ICT对印度卡纳塔克邦农村福利的影响。这里提出的随机实验（或行动研究）涉及促进一些村庄的家庭获得与农业相关的关键服务的信息，而在其他村庄则没有。结合调查和实验数据，研究了信息传播对农业实践、家庭收入、社会网络、风险应对机制和种姓差异的影响。
