Farmers will be educated about agricultural production and technologies and post-harvest issues such as marketing using the smart app.
Farmers would benefit from the consolidation since they will have access to the most recent research and development, weather and market updates, services offered, government initiatives, and advisories for various agro-climatic zones, all under one roof.
According to a ministry of agriculture and farmers' welfare official, the government aims to build a nifty app for farmers that will consolidate several digital organisations and existing mobile apps.
Farmers would benefit from the consolidation since they will have access to the most recent research and development, weather and market updates, services offered, government initiatives, and advisories for various agro-climatic zones, all under one roof.
Kisan Suvidha, Pusa Krishi, MKisan, Shetkari Masik Android App, Farm-o-Pedia, Crop Insurance Android App, AgriMarket, Iffco Kisan, and ICAR's Krishi Gyan are among the apps the ministry is considering integrating.
"The compilation of different apps under a super app at one place will help the farmers choose from a bouquet of services as per their requirements," said the official anonymously. "The focus will be to aggregate these apps to further search a relevant app."
Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar recently met with senior ministry officials to discuss the super app's development. The official stated that it might be released in the following weeks.
Farmers will be educated about agricultural production and technologies and post-harvest issues such as marketing using the smart app. According to the official, it will aid in the direct connection of farmers with the scientific community. Several government entities, including ICAR institutions, state agricultural colleges, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, and other departments, have produced existing apps integrated with the nifty app.
