Information and communication technology is becoming an important aspect of Agriculture sector. Till now most of IT initiatives by government were focused on website and training. In the current scenario, the mobile phones are becoming effective way of delivering information and this medium has been used by DAC&FW to develop KisanSuvidha Mobile App. The app is designed primarily for farmers keeping their requirements in mind. The app is engineered to provide all information at a common place that a farmer or agriculture stakeholder in agriculture sector may require. On 19th March 2016, app was inaugurated by Hon’ble Prime Minister during ‘KrishiUnnatiMela’ in New Delhi. As on today, an approximate 3 lakh active users are using this app. The App is available in Hindi, English, Punjabi, Tamil and Gujarati Language.

The app has very simple interface with focus on providing information on six essential areas of farming:-

1. Weather details
2. Dealers
3. Market Price
4. Plant Protection
5. Agro Advisory
6. Kisan Call Centre (KCC)

The app can be downloaded from Google Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.cdac.bharatd.agriapp and it is also available on mkisan.gov.in

Kisansuvidha is designed as a ‘Single window’ concept which enables farmers to get relevant information with the click of a button. Many more new features are being incorporated into this app so that it becomes more useful for farmers and related stakeholders.

We invite suggestion from all to improve this app further and share other useful apps for farmers.

अगर संभव हो सके तो किसान सुविधा APP के द्वारा ही किसानों को यह भी पता चल सके कि उनके लिए केंद्र सरकार की क्या स्कीमें हैं और राज्य सरकार की कौन-कौन सी स्कीम चल रही है जिसका फ़ायदा वे उठा सकते हैं. साथ-ही-साथ मौसम का हाल अगले एक महीने का चाहिए.

Respected Prime Minister
Sir I want to plant 1000 trees in my village Sankh Taluka Jath Dist Sangali which is draught ridden area in Maharashtra situated on the border of Karnataka since last 15 years my village has received scanty rainfall I feel only solution to get rid of draught is by growing trees I have failed to convince the people of village about the solution so if government take initiative in this regard it benefits the farmers
