FARMERS’ PORTAL
An integrated portal (presently Work in Progress) from the stand point of a farmer converging elements from 200 plus websites of the Central & State Governments and NARS
Drill down approach down to Block level initially
States are to make one time data entry of NARP Zones, Dealers, Manufacturers etc. and periodically update the same.
Databases integrated from different sources and displayed as per farmer’s needs instead of only giving links
Backend integration with mobile based advisories (Text, Voice, IVRS, USSD)
Portal can be launched only after data entry is completed by States in English and Language of the State
Unified SMS Gateway
A single gateway (in collaboration with the Department of Electronics & IT, GoI) with multiple sub-users down to Block Level for officers from the Central Government, State Governments, PSUs and NARS
Unlimited Free SMSs to Farmers and other stakeholders in the field of Agriculture and allied sectors
Messages in the Language of the States using Phonetic Typing Tools
Outbound Calls, IVRS, USSD being pilot tested
As soon as functional and administrative levels are added by the States, the Service can be commenced
