Global waste production is pegging at unforeseen heights and alarming for its sustainable management. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) can play an unequivocal role and warrants better information dissemination to larger masses in a short span of time. Therefore, for developing a need-based and effective mobile app, a study was conducted in Ludhiana district of Punjab on a randomly selected sample of 80 dairy farmers. The need was assessed and content was prioritized through the gap in knowledge, practices and opinion among the respondents for management of organic waste. Based on results, ‘IVRI-Waste Management Guide’ (WMG) App was designed and developed by ICAR-IVRI and ICAR-IASRI, to impart information and knowledge to various stakeholders about organic waste management. The assessment of the app was done in terms of knowledge enhancement regarding organic waste management, perceived utility of the app and problems in accessing the app and results showed excellent utility with a significant increase in knowledge of respondents and very less difficulty in accessibility. After 1 year, again the impact was assessed from the active users of the app and results with remarkable utilization pattern was observed. The study proved mobile apps to be highly efficient media for information dissemination.

全球废物生产正处于无法预料的高度，并对其可持续管理感到震惊。信息和通信技术（ICT）可以发挥明确的作用，并保证在短时间内将信息更好地传播给更大的群众。因此，为了开发基于需求的有效移动应用程序，在旁遮普邦的卢迪亚纳区进行了一项研究，该研究是从80位奶农中随机抽取的。通过对有机废物管理的答复者之间知识，实践和意见之间的差距，评估了需求并确定了其内容的优先次序。基于结果，ICAR-IVRI和ICAR-IASRI设计和开发了“ IVRI-废物管理指南”（WMG）应用程序，以向各种利益相关者传递有关有机废物管理的信息和知识。该应用程序的评估是根据有关有机废物管理的知识增强，该应用程序的感知效用以及访问该应用程序时遇到的问题进行的，结果显示该实用程序具有出色的实用性，极大地增加了受访者的知识，并且可及性极低。一年后，再次从应用程序的活跃用户那里评估了影响，并观察到了具有显着使用率模式的结果。这项研究证明了移动应用程序是用于信息传播的高效媒体。再次从应用程序的活跃用户那里评估了影响，并观察到了具有显着使用率模式的结果。这项研究证明了移动应用程序是用于信息传播的高效媒体。再次从应用程序的活跃用户那里评估了影响，并观察到了具有显着使用率模式的结果。这项研究证明了移动应用程序是用于信息传播的高效媒体。
