by them and to increase the production using innovative practices. Focused at establishing direct interaction with farmers in rural
areas. Intended to meet the unique
characteristics of Indian agriculture, taking into account insufficient substructure
and by involvement of different stakeholders.Principles of
E-Choupal: In order to make e-Choupal functional and spread awareness among the farmers, there are certain steps as
designed by ITC to make sustainable model.It is efficient supply chain management technique that aims to provide
value to various stakeholders. E-choupal System provides various benefits such
as:

which includes lack of manpower, poor
investment , Low productivity, lack of good market orientation .
2)Expand the competitive position in agriculture of India

much aware about the benefits of E-choupal system . Also they have to face
challenges such as Frequent power cuts and Poor Network connectivity. ITC needs
to first work in this regard so that E-Choupal can serve as a boon to the
economy of our Country.
