RikiPedia is Rice Knowledge Initiative under NAIP's Flagship Project RKMP. RikiPedia aims at capturing the implicit knowledge about rice that exists across the stakeholders.
Rice crop is interwoven in the cultural, social and economic life of millions of Indian and it holds the key for food and nutritional security of the country. Enormous knowledge has been developed about this crop and there is a need to share this knowledge for the betterment of our society. Indian rice research and rice development programmes have been recognized as successful model endeavors all over the world. However, given the burgeoning task of further enhancing the production and productivity of rice, the existing information sharing mechanisms appear to be inadequate.
The Rice Knowledge management Portal has been envisaged to enable rice workers to create, manage and share scientific, technology-related and market-related information for the benefit of all stakeholders. This portal will be developed by the Directorate of Rice Research, Hyderabad with eight of its consortium partners to help in strengthen communications and provide a platform for collaborative action and information sharing, among various key players and stakeholders in the rice sector of India.
