Remote sensing technology has rapidly expanded for the development of diffident sectors including agriculture and allied fields. The remote sensing techniques will continue to be very important factor in the improvement of present system of acquiring agricultural data. The remote sensing provides various platforms for agricultural and animal husbandry survey. The importance of remote sensing applications to agricultural and allied sectors involve land use pattern, crop production crop yield determination, livestock population, sex of animal, types of farm and distribution of animals. ICTs are emerging as an important tool for the development of societies and have driving forces in the economics world-wide. ICTs are no more confined to assist high –end research and development, the new technologies have made significant improvements in the life styles and the efficiency levels of agriculture and animal husbandry sectors of the economy.
