Computers now have become necessity than an asset. Though 'IT' has revolutionised the lives of several in cities, now it entered into villages and has been showing its magic even in farmers fields aswell !
Meet Mr.vishveshwara Bhat, A progressive farmer in bangaradka, near Puttur DK district in Karnataka, India. who is using PC to maintain the day to day accounts of his agricultural expenses.
Interestingly, He himself had written software programme for his needs! 'Tradition of keeping the records of expences is not new. It was a family practice we are following since six decades. It was a legacy we recieved from our father. Keeping records of all the expences, even minute detail like money spent to a cigeratte has become routine now.' says vishweshwara bhat.
It was 18 years ago when Bhat First saw a PC. He was fascinated by the possibilities of uses of it. Immediately He bought one and learnt it of his own at home. At present he has modern P4 PC with him.
Bhat has written account keeping software in FOXPRO language. "Now FOXPRO has become outdated. we can write more efficient programmes in languages like C, C++ also. But FOXPRO is more than sufficient for me. As of now, I'm happy with this' says agriculturist cum self learned 'computer Engineer' vishweshwar bhat.
Let us see how the prograamme works. Bhat's programme has got 12 sections. Each section has got 4 functions in it namely ADD, SEARCH, PRINT, UTILITY mainly used to update the Data.
DAILY ENTRY: In this section Bhat records details of his daily household expences, Agricultural input expences, pesticide, animal feed, incimination expences and other such details.
OLD ENTRY: If we go by this section we will get all the details of past expences recorded. These Data can be helpful for future Analysis.
"We can compare the present and past data just by clicking on keyboard. Which saves much of our time, added to that we can do it more accurately' opines Bhat.
Vishweshwara Bhat Maintains not only financial data. But also keeps the records of important events, festivals, memorable moment he had in a seperate section. In addition to this, Bhat has created a small dairy in which important telephone Nos, addresses are being entered in different sections.
Though he records all his daily details in PC, he also maintains it in a physical logboook as a back up option. This is the strict practice Bhat follows Daily.
More importantly vishweshwara Bhat never postpones entering daily expences. In the absence of him ,wife sadhana does the job.
'I feel very proud that Iam runninng with trends. I think, big problem with our rural mass is that they are not ready to opening up themselves to new methods; trends to move up in life. Unless it happens, it is very difficult to any revolution to be meterialised in rural areas' opines vishveshwara Bhat. For More Details: Vishweshwara Bhat,Bangaradka house ,post:Aryaapu
