How communication is done
• Each ITC Limited kiosk is run by a sanchalak — a trained farmer. • The computer is housed in the sanchalak's house and is linked
to the Internet via phone lines or by a VSAT connection. • Each installation serves an average of 600 farmers in the
surrounding ten villages within about a 5 km radius. • The sanchalak bears some operating cost but in return earns a
service fee for the e-transactions done through his e-Choupal. • The warehouse hub is managed by the same traditional middle-
men, now called samyojaks
