Alternatively, farmers can make a one-time payment of Rs 756 for six months or Rs 1,248 for one year. Charges will be deducted directly from the subscriber’s main balance upon subscription.
The premium services include step-by-step training modules on modern farming practices, an AI-powered pest and disease detection system covering more than 800 crop issues, and real-time personalized advisory services in local languages, the company said.
Ncell and Super Krishak aim to reach over 120,000 farmers within the first year of launch.
