Abstract

Rural healthcare datasets are often large, relational and dynamic. These datasets contain records related to child welfare, pregnant woman health information and socioeconomic status of family.Data mining is very popular and essential in the healthcare industry due to fact that huge amounts of heterogeneous data being generated through healthcare transactions. It is a processing procedure of extracting credible, novel, effective and understandable patterns from database. Additionally, database consists of inconsistent and noisy data. This paper focuses on pattern generated from rural healthcare datasets using clustering algorithms thus helps in decision making process. The result of the experiment shows the comparison between the cluster generated and also justifying the uniqueness of the cluster by the values of attributes of these patterns. These patterns are generated on socioeconomic status of the locality and the data sets used are from Rural Maternity and Child Welfare (RMCW) database. These clustering techniques are implemented and analysed using a clustering tool WEKA.

Abstract

For ages, agriculture has always had a very special place in the lifestyle of an Indian. Agriculture and its associated activities contribute about 15% of Indian gross domestic products. However, in spite of all the development, the agricultural methods that Indians use are still way old. Soil fertility is the major factor to be looked for getting better yield. Major constrain in promoting balanced use of fertilizers includes inadequate soil testing facilities, wide gap in dissemination of knowledge, lack of awareness among farmers about benefits of balanced fertilization. This paper discusses how Information and communication Technology can be used to promote balance used of fertilizers in Indian farming condition.
