25. e – Krishi Kiran
Promoting scientific agriculture technologies by enabling farmers with required information through IT
• Operational since 2004, e – Krishi Kiran is
a first of its kind information initiative in
India, pioneered and initiated for the
benefit of farmers at the grass-root level
• e – Krishi Kiran, a web based information
system implemented in Gujarat to
promote scientific agriculture
technologies by enabling the farmers to
get the required specific information
• e- agricultural extension technology was
introduced in the e – Krishi Kiran
programme to provide fertilizer
recommendations on basis of soil analysis
and nutrient requirements of the crop for
each field
• Facilitates effective decision making
regarding what to produce, when to
produce and how to produce, thereby
increases income of farmers
• Bridges the distances between
