Farmer logs have indicated that mKRISHI has
resulted in increase in yield, reduction in cost,
improved efficiency and better price for the
produce for farmers. It has also led to income
generation opportunities for the rural youth and
agricultural graduates.
Information about appropriate use of chemical
fertilizer has led to the avoidance of soil erosion
and infertility. There has also been a reduction in
ground water pollution as a result of excessive
use of nitrogen fertilizer.
In 2010-2011 farmers from Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh
have benefitted from services provided by mKRISHI.
In the UK, TCS is working with the Government’s Department for International Development
(DFID) potentially to deploy its IT capabilities in developing countries. In FY 2011, mKRISHI was
identified as one of only 30 DFID supported world beating projects.

ChildLine
TCS uses its core competencies to develop
Management Information Systems pro bono
for NGOs.
TCS developed the ChildLine/ChildNet
application for Chidline India Foundation that
has been deployed extensively. At present,
this software covers 200 cities/districts in
India and by 2015 the organization plans to
cover 640 districts/cities with this software.
TCS has also provided a comprehensive
Donor Management System to the
organization.
Smile Train
TCS has developed a comprehensive solution
to enhance patient care for Smile Train, an
NGO that works with children with cleft
palates. The solution encapsulates
information across all Smile Train partners
and helps synergize best practices.
