The Common Services Centres (CSC), an SPV under the Ministry of
Electronics and IT, has tied up with the Krishak Bharati Cooperative Ltd
(KRIBHCO) to provide access to fertilisers and agricultural inputs to
farmers through the network of around 4 lakh Village Level Entrepreneurs
(VLEs) at the last mile.
CSCs will facilitate the sale and
distribution of products of KRIBHCO, which manufactures, imports and
markets fertilisers, agri inputs and seeds, including fertilisers like
imported urea, DAP, NPK/NPS, bio-fertiliser, city compost, zinc
sulphate, certified seeds, hybrid seeds, and potash derived from
molasses.
Early this year, CSC set up an agri services platform
to facilitate agri inputs like seeds, manure, and pesticides, rent and
hire of farm machinery and implements, and trading of agri produce etc.
through its VLEs and farmer producer organisations (FPOs).
Elaborating
on the partnership, CSC e-Governance Services India Ltd Managing
Director Dinesh Tyagi said: "Our alliance with KRIBHCO is a step ahead
in furthering the agenda of the government in serving the farmers and
agricultural community. The last mile delivery of fertilisers, seeds and
other agri products is an important aspect of our activities at CSCs
and the partnership will help us reach out to farmers and citizens in
the villages with timely supply of reliable and quality agri inputs."
KRIBHCO
Managing Director Rajan Chowdhry said that this partnership will usher
in a new era where farmers can get cost effective agri inputs at the
click of a mouse and smartphones, thereby promoting 'Digital India'.
FPOs, as agribusiness retailers, will help the farming community become
"agriculture entrepreneurs" from "agriculture producers", he added.
