      abstract = {Mobile phone-enabled information delivery mechanism has  the potential to reduce the knowledge gap between large and  small farmers, and also across gender by creating  awareness. This paper focuses on how women are receptive to  the information that they receive through mobile phones,  how the access to information through the mobile phone has  helped them to feel empowered? What kind of information  they value? And what potentially it means for their  empowerment? This is done by analyzing listening behavior  of farmers both men and women towards information provided  through mobile phones. The study is undertaken in selected  villages of two states of India Haryana and Bihar and thus  also present some contrasting results across the two  states. Female farmers feel that the agro advisories have  helped them to increase their knowledge about farming  practices which includes information about modern  technologies and best practices.},
