Farmers could now get weather updates, expert advisories, inputs position and market rates for their produce – all with a tap of a button, thanks to ‘Kisan Suvidha’, a new mobile app launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
A group of 52 progressing farmers from across the district stood dumbfounded when the Agriculture Department officials explained them the advantages and salient features of the app with the help of power point presentation at their office here on Monday.
Agriculture Officer P. Selvam said, “The app has a simple interface and provides five critical parameters – weather, input dealers, plant protection and expert advisories.”
