Krishi call centre

Every day we come across many helpful advertisements on Indian TV channels. According to some advertisements, anybody can call a toll-free phone number for getting advice relating to agriculture. Though we have many TV channels, success stories and specific problems relating to crop yield are hardly highlighted.
Anyone can learn about soil test especially the content of Boron, Zinc, Sulphur etc. determination from such programmes. Many of us are building root garden, pot flower, pot fruits etc. but in many cases the yield is too low or nil. We should have advice from the print media along with toll-free krishi call centre so that we know exactly what type of fertilisers or chemicals needed for good crop yield. In these days of IT, film shows on flower and fruit cultivation need to be published in the print media and broadcast or telecast on electronic media.
