Iteams Agri

To address the critical issue of enabling and facilitating access to remunerative and sustainable markets for farmers’ produce in the most transparent, efficient and effective manner the Government of Meghalaya has put in place the implementation and operation of a logistics, evacuation and facilitation service to be called the 1917
Integrated Technology Enabled Agri Management System or 1917iTEAMS in short, which is modeled on the 108 Emergency Services in terms of farmers / citizens being able to dial a single toll free number connected to a centralized call, dispatch and facilitation centre called the Agri Response Centre (ARC) for services related to lifting, evacuation and transport of agriculture produce and inputs, advisory services, market intelligence, domain knowledge and life skilling facilities. The ARC will be linked to customized cargo vehicles called the
Agri Response Vehicles (ARVs) across the state which will move out, under the direction and tracking of the ARC, to lift farmer’s produce from aggregation sites and transport the produce directly to the farmers’ choice of markets.
