A system, being implemented in Tamil Nadu with the aim of increasing productivity and income of the individual farm, has got the attention of policy-makers at the national level.
Called the AGRISNET (Agricultural Information Services Network) - Farm Crop Management System, this provides opportunities for farm-specific interventions for reasons such as raising crops and addressing yield gap.
At the national conference on e-governance in Gujarat on Friday, Tamil Nadu was given the gold award under the category of “incremental innovation.”
Officials of the State government including Sandeep Saxena, former Agricultural Production Commissioner and now Chief Electoral Officer, and M. Rajendran, Agriculture Director, received the medal, according to an official release.
