| NamePros Regular | Yay, great news. Thanks for the post. oneindia.mobi looks great. Thanks for the post. I understand that India has 7O+% of its population in Agricultural sector. Constituting about 1/4 of GNP and is an all important part of the economy. This is just a thought but, if someone were to start a .mobi site dedicated to that sector. With topics suchs as cropping patterns-rotations, irrigation ( since monsoon is an important part of irrigation-the weather forecast would be vital), crop prices, seed prices, as well as a platform to connect with buyers and increasing the chances for the farmers to get higher crop prices would be really good. In due time I'm sure such sight would be created.  |
