Weekly counts of Kisan Call Centre (KCC) calls per district and theme (pest, disease, weed, nutrient or intent), for the 10 best-covered states, December 2009 to July 2025, with 1-4 week forecast backtests and surge alerts. Aggregates only: no call text. A rise in calls about a pest or disease in a district is a signal of what farmers are dealing with that week.
Quickstart
The repository is gated: accept the terms on the dataset page, then huggingface-cli login.
from datasets import load_dataset
panel = load_dataset("judicialmind/KCC-Pulse", "district_week_theme", split="train").to_pandas()
pests = panel[(panel.theme_kind == "entity") & (panel.state == "MAHARASHTRA")]
print(pests.groupby("theme")["calls"].sum().sort_values(ascending=False).head(10))
With pandas or DuckDB on a local copy (huggingface-cli download judicialmind/KCC-Pulse --repo-type dataset --local-dir KCC-Pulse):
import duckdb, pandas as pd
state = pd.read_parquet("KCC-Pulse/panel/state_week.parquet")
print(state[state.state == "PUNJAB"].tail(3))
print(duckdb.sql("""
SELECT state, district, week, theme, calls
FROM 'KCC-Pulse/panel/district_week_theme.parquet'
WHERE theme = 'pest_control' AND calls IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY calls DESC LIMIT 5
""").df())
Series for forecasting are in series/series.parquet (series_id = STATE|DISTRICT|THEME, weekly ts,
target); the evaluation origins and horizons are in splits.json.

Schema
panel/district_week_theme.parquet
| column | type | description |
|---|---|---|
state, district |
string | as in the KCC records (upper case); district = 0 when the call has no district |
state_lgd, district_lgd |
int | LGD codes where the district name matched |
week |
date | ISO week start (Monday) |
theme |
string | the pest, disease, weed or nutrient named in the calls (theme_kind = entity, 40,999 names), else the call intent (intent: weather, government_scheme, sowing_cultural, variety_seed, fertilizer_use, pest_control, nutrient_management, weed_management, market_price, disease_control, animal_husbandry, credit_insurance, irrigation_water, post_harvest, machinery, procurement_msp_complaint, other, unlabelled) |
theme_kind |
string | entity or intent |
calls |
int | number of calls; null when suppressed |
calls_suppressed |
bool | true when the count was 1-9 |
panel/state_week.parquet: state, week, state_calls, state_calls_suppressed.
series/series.parquet: series_id, ts (week), target (calls; null = no calls logged in the state that
week, or suppressed), target_suppressed, state, district, district_lgd, theme,
cov_pmkisan_beneficiaries (PM-KISAN beneficiaries in the district for the installment covering the week).
forecasts/forecasts.parquet: series_id, origin, h (horizon, weeks), model, ts, q0.1 ... q0.9,
mean, y (observed calls), y_suppressed.
A week is missing (null), not zero, when the state logged no calls at all that week. Small cells: published call
counts of 1-9 are null with <column>_suppressed = true (zeros are kept).
Results
Forecasts of weekly calls per district and theme, 5,959 series, 6 origins (2025-02-17 to 2025-07-07), horizons 1-4
weeks, 27,870 windows per model (forecasts/summary.json):
| model | WQL | MASE | alert precision | alert recall |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| seasonal_naive | 1.103 | 0.559 | 0.10 | 0.05 |
| poisson_glm | 0.917 | 0.676 | 0.73 | 0.39 |
| chronos2 | 0.698 | 0.371 | 0.81 | 0.38 |
Alert = next-week calls more than 2x the seasonal baseline (same ISO week +-1 in the previous 3 years) and at least 10 calls. Forecast scores were computed on the unsuppressed counts.
Coverage
10 best-covered states: Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Bihar, Punjab, Odisha, Karnataka, Haryana, Madhya
Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh; 356 district names (one per state is 0, calls without a district); weeks from 2009-12-28 to 2025-07-28. The source holds 27,754,152 calls
from the public data.gov.in snapshot.
