Digital Krishi brought agricultural extension closer to farmers by using technology to connect field-level needs with technical guidance, government services and market-related information.
Technology as an extension bridge
The initiative focused on practical questions raised by farmers — crop practices, seed treatment, improved varieties, government schemes, insurance and other agriculture-related information.
Collaborative model
SCOPE’s historical account describes Digital Krishi as a collaborative agri-business extension initiative involving the University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, IIM Bangalore and the Department of Agriculture, Government of Karnataka.
