He directed them to establish all the required IT infrastructure at the designated sites at the earliest so that these centres can be made functional before the launch of KKG Software cum portal.

He called upon all DCs to notify the list of Krishi Udhyamis well in time so that the KKGs can be made functional by the designated time of first week of August.
