Krishak Jagat’s 2026 editorial calendar outlines our planned weekly coverage across print and digital platforms, published every Monday. Each issue is carefully aligned with India’s agricultural seasons Kharif, Rabi, and Zaid (Summer) to ensure timely, relevant, and field-connected knowledge and update on crops, inputs, technologies, services, markets, and policies that shape Indian agriculture throughout the year.
Our content is driven by Krishak Jagat’s experienced editorial team and strengthened through continuous engagement with farmers, scientists, extension experts, agri-industry professionals, and policymakers across the country. This calendar serves as a strategic planning guide for contributors, advertisers, industry partners, institutions, and stakeholders seeking meaningful engagement with India’s farming community at every stage of the crop cycle.
