Technology for Rural Development

Gaps in accessing technology is one of the reasons for inadequate returns from farming. Reliance Foundations helps farmers access technology in many ways, such as improved seeds, machines for farm operations, digital information platforms and other means to enhance capacity of farmers and returns from agriculture.

The digital divide is greater for women than it is for men. Reliance Foundation works with women collectives to enhance digital literacy of women and support them in building successful enterprises. These efforts are ongoing in both farm and non-farm value chains like handicrafts, fabric, foods and confectionary.
