All ICT materials (computers, laptops, printers, modems, cameras etc.) are provided in these centers. Expert advice is being provided through online video conferencing from agricultural information service to agricultural consultants. As a result, the opportunity of obtaining information among marginalized people has increased. Currently, 499 centers are operating in the country.
