SEMCollege of Agricultural Information Technology , AAU,Anand.
Introduction
• E-Choupal is a hindi word which means a village meeting
place, and “E” here stands for electronic so it is a village
meeting place on electronic platform.
• It is a virtual market place where vendors and customers come
together to do transactions.
• E-Choupal is an initiative of ITC Ltd.(Indian Tobacco
Company Limited) , to link directly with rural farmers via
the Internet for agricultural and aquaculture products like
soybeans, wheat, coffee.
Organizer
• ITC— a 94-year-old Indian Agribusiness Company with
annual revenues of US $ 2.6 billion—has taken on the role
of a network orchestrator in this meta-market by stitching
together an end-to-end solution.
• International Business Division (IBD), a division of ITC
started in 1990, is engaged in exports of a range of
agricultural commodities.
• It is also now sourcing domestic markets in products
such as wheat, maize , and pearl millet for its own use
as well as for niche customers .
Reason For Establishment
Current Unsustainable Situation
• Small farmer livelihoods.
• Government subsidies.
• Inefficient use of inputs.
 What will make it sustainable?
• Not subsidies, but efficient services.
• Market linkages for output .
• Non farm employment opportunities .
Effects of e-Choupal
• ITC Limited has provided computers and Internet access
in rural areas across several agricultural regions of the
country.
• Online access enables farmers to obtain information on
mandi and to place orders for agricultural inputs like seeds
and fertilizers.
• Each ITC Limited kiosk having Internet access is run by
a sanchalak — a trained farmer.
• Farmers can real-time information despite their physical
distance from the mandis.
• There are 6,500 e-Choupals in operation. ITC Limited
plans to scale up to 20,000 e-Choupals by 2012
covering 100000 villages in 15 states, servicing 15 million
farmers.

better remuneration and for the company that's assured
quality inputs for its business.
• IT for the Masses.
• Multiple Benefits.
• Better Payment.

rate and the local mandi rates. ITC's next day rates are
published every evening.

Q & A This feature enables two-way communication. Here a
farmer can post any agriculture related question he needs
answered.
Features of the E-Choupal Web Site
Scope of E-choupal

sell third-party products, provide rural market research
services, and in the social sector, to provide services like
health advisories and enable e-governance.
• Under the brand ‘Choupal Sagar,’ these shopping complexes
house a procurement centre, retail store, food court, farmer
facility centre and healthcare clinic.
• ITC eChoupal is currently piloting delivery of quality
education services to the rural areas leveraging the physical
and digital infrastructure developed for commodities sourcing
and consumer retail services
