In the present situation arising out of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in light of the announcement by the Government of a Rs. 1.6 Lakh Crore package to empower the farmer and take initiatives like providing adequate choices to farmers to sell produce at attractive prices, better framework for e-trading of produce, agriculture marketing reforms, an associated target of opening 10,000 FPO’s and many such measures that will enable farm income enhancement, CSIR-Central Road Research Institute (CSIR-CRRI) has launched the Supply Chain Web Portal and Android Application “Kisan Sabha” (www.kisansabha.in)
Aiming to issue core farmer issues such as low price realization at the farm gate, availability issues related to timely transportation and access to quality seeds and fertilizers at affordable prices, Kisan Sabha has been conceptualized, designed and implemented after researching the ground realities of farmers, their immediate concerns and identified opportunities within the existing operating systems for improvement and empowerment. Hundreds of farmers and mandi dealers were interviewed and surveys were conducted to understand the demand and supply system and pain points. India’s largest mandi, Azadpur at Delhi, was also covered.
Features
Kisan Sabha has 6 major modules, one each dedicated for farmers, mandi dealers, transporters, mandi board members, service providers and consumers, respectively. It is intended to be farmer-centric while ensuring stakeholders across the value chain are benefited:
