Digitalized technological interventions play crucial role in all domains of life especially in agriculture. But in the sphere of farming the digital divide is still unbridgeable due to lack of ways and modes to reach the unreached. If this is addressed, the unreached could be reached with all the available information on farming technologies which in turn would increase the production and productivity. This could be achieved through the concept of crop health centers (CHCs) at block level supported by the village crop advisors (VCAs) located at village level. The required knowledge and skills for the VCAs will be provided by the scientists of agricultural universities, research institutes or KVKs in the concerned district. Any innovation or new idea takes its own phase of time to reach the target group or social system through a proper channel. The linkage between the VCAs and the farmers will be helpful in promoting synchronized agricultural management practices among the farmers which would support total crop management. The CHCs can also serve as a conduit between the farmers and farmer benefitting schemes offered through various government and non-government agencies.
