Electronic Crop Advisory Services & Sudharma Crop Care Centre
The agricultural management domain is becoming more & more complex with each passing day. This is due to various reasons like intensive cropping, abuse/misuse of agricultural inputs and the steady pursuit of improper systems of agriculture due to a lack of in depth knowledge about agriculture. Even though there is a large amount of complexity involved these days, there is also availability of a huge information base about the frontiers of agricultural technology which is lying either in the research laboratories or on the internet in complicated white papers much beyond the reach of the common farmer. As a result of this, everyday farmers cannot acquire this knowledge as per their need. To make it available to the man on the field we have designed a unique Electronic Crop Advisory service which is committed to propagation of this information to those who need it most via our Agri-Information Hubs by the name of Sudharma Crop Care Centre.
Collate, Collaborate, Circulate
Our Agri-Information Hubs can be set up by many different agencies. We aspire to inculcate a collaborative atmosphere with our partners to drive the maximum value. Agricultural co-operatives, rural banks, CSCs, NGOs or even private agencies can work with us in close collaboration in the market place of rural areas to deliver the correct information to the farmers directly, right and pure inputs in appropriate time to solve their problems. The farmers in remote areas can also get an easy access to various other services like soil testing ,fertilizer recommendations based on soil testing, farmers’ digital training on various technologies, advanced local weather forecast system, symptomatic diagnosis and identification of disease & deficiency of crops, consultancy on agri –businesses in general and farming of hi- value crops in particular and many more, through one window system of Sudharma Crop Care Center.
