The programme aims to help learners understand how connected technologies, data-driven systems and digital platforms can address challenges across agricultural production, supply chains and market access.

The programme fee is Rs 1,30,000, excluding 18% GST. Candidates must also pay a separate application fee of Rs 1,000 plus GST, amounting to Rs 1,180. The application fee is non-refundable and non-transferable and is not adjusted against the programme fee.
