About Program
e-Krishak Sahyogi has been
envisaged to address the problem of accessibility of useful and timely
information by small and marginal farmers. This is an applet on tab offering
gateway to solution of farm-specific queries of small farmers. Farmers can
learn cropping techniques with modern technologies using high definition 3-D
animation videos or multimedia slideshow videos. Also, they can access other
relevant and timely information in the audio, pictures and text format.
Besides, farmers can also do live conferencing with experts and can watch live
auctioning of vegetables in mandis by using tablets with data access through 3G technology. This Initiative helps saving their time as well as cost of
traveling and enables them to exchange information on real time basis.
This is a modest effort by Indian Society of Agribusiness Professionals. ISAP
is carrying out this pilot of e-krishaksahyogi in Jaipur district of Rajasthan,
where it is working with 5000 vegetable growers. For this, ISAP has been
actively supported by Wireless Reach Initiative of Qualcomm. Qualcomm’s
Wireless Reach Initiative is a strategic program that brings wireless
technology to underserved communities globally. Wireless Reach initiative has 88 projects in various stages of development in 34 countries.
