About
Why Technical Kisan exists
The farmer with the best information gets the best price, the right subsidy and the higher yield. That information exists — it is just locked inside universities, PDFs and the heads of people who have already made the mistakes. This is an attempt to unlock it.
What is on this site
A reference desk, not a blog
Technical Kisan is organised around the decisions a season actually forces — what to sow, what is eating it, which scheme pays for it, and whether the numbers work. Every count below is read straight from the site, so it is current as of the build you are reading.

Everything, in both languages
The whole site is built twice — English at the plain URL, Hindi at /hi — and both versions are prerendered pages, not a browser translation laid over the top. The wording changes; the figures do not.
No account, no tracking wall
Nothing here is behind a sign-up. The calculators run in your browser, so the acreage and the prices you type never leave your phone — see the privacy policy for exactly what is and is not collected.
How we work
Six rules we do not break
These are not marketing lines. They are the constraints we edit against, and they are the reason we say no to things.
- 01
Numbers, or it did not happen
Every recommendation carries the cost, the yield, the subsidy rate or the deadline attached to it — and the season that figure applies to. Advice without a number is an opinion, and there is enough of that already.
- 02
We say when something is not worth it
A drone is a poor purchase below 50 acres. Drip does not pay on wheat. If the honest answer is "do not buy this", that is the answer you will get here.
- 03
No paid placements. None.
No brand has ever paid to appear in a guide, and none ever will. The moment a seed company can buy a recommendation, everything else on this site becomes worthless.
- 04
Hindi is not an afterthought
Every page ships in English and Hindi, both fully built, not swapped in by a translation widget. The words change between the two; a subsidy rate or a seed rate never does.
- 05
Free, and light enough to actually load
Every calculator runs on your phone with no sign-up and no data leaving the device. The site is built to work on a 2G connection at the edge of a field, because that is where it gets used.
- 06
Official source, or no page
Scheme facts come from the ministry notification, the department circular or PIB — never from another website that quoted them. Agronomy follows ICAR and state agricultural university guidance for the region concerned.
Our process
How a page gets written
The same five steps whether it is a crop portal, a scheme explainer or a calculator. It is slower than rewriting someone else’s article, which is rather the point.
- 1
We start at the notification, not at a search result
A scheme page is written from the official notification, the department order and the portal itself. An agronomy page is written from ICAR and state agricultural university packages of practice. If the primary source cannot be found, the page does not get published.
- 2
Every figure gets a season stamp
MSP (RMS 2025–26), not MSP. A subsidy rate that was correct two seasons ago is actively harmful when quoted as current, so the year travels with the number wherever it appears.
- 3
The page is built around the decision
Sowing window, seed rate, spacing, nutrient dose, the common mistakes and a cost table — in the order a farmer needs them, not in the order that fills a word count. Calculators are pure functions with hand-checked maths, verified on every build.
- 4
Both languages are built together
The Hindi twin of a page is written alongside the English one and carries identical figures. A number is never translated — only the words around it are.
- 5
Corrections close the loop
Seasonal guidance is reviewed before each kharif and rabi. When a reader tells us a figure has moved or does not hold in their district, we fix the page and note the update — that is the most useful mail we get.
The full standard — sourcing, dating, corrections and the limits of what a guide written for a region can tell you about your field — is set out in the editorial policy.
Who writes this
Who writes Technical Kisan
One byline, and it is a real person. Technical Kisan is written by Vaibhav Dhama, who founded it — from Baghpat, in the sugarcane and wheat belt of western Uttar Pradesh.
Vaibhav Dhama
Founder, Technical Kisan
I'm from Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh — the sugarcane and wheat belt of western UP. I started Technical Kisan because most Hindi farming information online is generic and disconnected from what actually happens in the field. What I publish here is built on ICAR and state agricultural university guidance, official government sources, and live mandi-price data — and I'm working to bring in more on-the-ground detail from around Baghpat itself as I go.
By profession I'm a software developer (BTech, 2021). I do not hold a formal degree in agriculture. The information here comes from state agriculture department sources and published ICAR and state agricultural university guidance. Before making major decisions about seed, fertiliser, or crop protection, please consult your nearest KVK or agriculture officer.

What this is not
By profession Vaibhav is a software developer (BTech, 2021). He does not hold a formal degree in agriculture. What is published here is built on state agriculture department sources, published ICAR and state agricultural university guidance, official scheme notifications, and live mandi-price data.
None of this is a substitute for advice about your own field. Soil, water, local pest pressure and district-level implementation vary enormously — confirm a subsidy rate, an eligibility rule or a deadline against the official notification, or with your Krishi Vigyan Kendra or block agriculture officer, before you act on it.
We do not put invented names or fabricated credentials on articles to look more authoritative. Plenty of agriculture sites do. There is one byline, it belongs to a real person, and the only qualifications claimed for it are the ones stated plainly above.
Judge the guides on whether the numbers hold up — and tell us when they do not.
Found something that is wrong?
Tell us. An MSP that has moved, a subsidy rate that has changed, a recommendation that does not hold in your district — we would rather hear it from you than leave it up.
