Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar has launched Northeast India's first Kisan Call Centre in Agartala.
The Kisan Call Centre will give immediate solution and real time advisory to farmers if they need expert consultation regarding seed procurement, agro-metric, fertilizer, soil health, pesticides usage and marketing of the produces.
Apart from that the farmers' portal will be issuing advisory for farm production under direct supervision of the experts.
The Tripura government financed call centre will be run by a private enterprise with experts of agriculture, horticulture, fisheries and animal husbandry from 6 am to 10 pm daily.
Farmers from neighbouring states will also be able to take advantage of the Kisan Call Centre.
