Product overview

Gujarat Green Revolution Company Ltd. (GGRC) operates primarily as a government-sponsored implementing agency delivering the Micro Irrigation Scheme (MIS) — a subsidized drip and sprinkler irrigation program — across Gujarat in partnership with authorized MIS suppliers. The core offering consists of the MIS, which includes multiple irrigation system types (drip, sprinkler, rain gun, and porous pipe), supplemented by the Sardar Krushi Package that bundles protected cultivation (greenhouse), solar water pumps, water-soluble fertilizers, and organic inputs. Additional initiatives include the Holiyu rainwater harvesting project for saline aquifer areas, the Sustainable Cotton Initiative with WWF-India, and the Pressurized Irrigation Network System (PINS) with Tata Chemicals. GGRC also offers IT Consultancy Services built on its proprietary C-MIMS (Gujarat Model) web platform, alongside farmer-facing digital tools including the Ask Me query service, Agronomy Mobile App, SMS alerts, and Crop Doctor mobile app for cotton farmers. The portfolio follows a platform-plus-modules architecture: C-MIMS serves as the operational backbone for MIS delivery and reporting, while the various schemes and apps act as complementary offerings.
