As you know past one month the efarm team has been buzzing with the launch of our newest baby - efarmDirect - the first agri marketing portal for farmers. Since we launched the efarmDirect portal data collection drive , we have been swamped with huge response from farmers, buyers and agro industry. Our team has been doing the rounds in all the krishi melas ( bangalore, Nasik and right now at Pune) . The
efarmdirect.com Portal site beta version is going LIVE tonight with the first set of over 5 lakh farmers across 4 states of Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Maharastra. Andra Pradesh .
As the process of registration involves collection of several critical data items , taking individual photographs ( it is almost a mini 'aadhar project' ) we are opening up the registration activity to local entreprenuers, students , NGOs and agri institutions. Now, you can not only participate in a critical mission to map out India's millions of farmers but also earn income from a interesting part-time job.
All one needs is a laptop, internet connection ,a small home-office setup from which to operate, and basic knowledge of computers. Preference would be given to rural women, army veterans, students and people with disabilities .
The first of the Franchisee training and enrollment program is to be held in Pune tomorrow (Saturday Dec 17th) . As our team is also having a stall at the Kisan mela which is in progress at Pune currently , it would give the trainees hands on expereince in handling the customers queries and enrollment process.
