 Quality check at various levels before sending to
Users
 Integrating mobile delivery channels (IVR, SMS,
Voice Message and Call Center)
 Pushing Dynamic information based on the profile.
 Regular User Testing, feedback analysis
 Focused outreach strategy
Role of mobile
 To provide scalable and affordable advisory services
to info-poor livestock keepers
 Accessibility- IVR & voice messages overcomes
literacy barriers
 Reduction of transaction costs of advisory services
 Improving farmer decision making ability
 Strengthening expert- farmer linkages
Delivery mechanism(s)
 Primary Information Pull Delivery
Agro advisories: Regional IVR allows user to easily navigate the mKisan
advisory capsules by selecting alpha- numeric keystrokes.
Farmer Helpline: A team of experts attend farmer queries on livestock. It is
much more efficient and cost effective than a conventional call center.

 Primary Information Push Delivery
Agro bulletins: Dynamic micro- information based on farmer profiles
delivered via SMS.

 Complementary R & D Information Pull Delivery
Videos: To be tested for users acceptance on mobile available on demand.
