educating farmers – Gramophone

Dheeraj Ramesh Chandra, a farmer of Karjoda village of Depalpur tehsil of Indore district, has been cultivating since his father’s time. He says that Earlier farming was done in very old ways but now many new ways have come. There are many medicines available in the market, but instead of what we ask for, the shopkeepers give other medicines. That is why there is no trust in these medicines, that the crop will be saved or spoiled.”

When Dheeraj was looking for a solution to these problems, he came in contact with Gramophone. He said that he was getting information about the Gramophone from the people of the village when he was looking for a solution to his problem. After that, he started receiving medicines from Gramophone. He said, “From here I received good quality and original medicines at a reasonable price and at the right time, at my home.

Dheeraj stated the advantages of joining Gramophone and said that “Whenever I encountered any problem in the crop, I took a picture of it and uploaded it to the Gramophone app and I got immediate help from Gramophone.” He also told other farmers that even if you do not use a smartphone, you can solve your problem by giving a missed call to the toll-free number. Finally, he described Gramophone as a true friend and companion of the farmers.

We are living in the age of internet and social media. Almost every company or organization is utilizing these social media platforms for connecting with their customers. In the same event, the government is also using several social media platforms to connect with the farmers of the nation.

The Cabinet Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Narendra Singh Tomar said that the government is using Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc to educate farmers across the nation.
