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.

The aim should be simply whatever is available in USA and whatever is available in China in the category of healthy superfoods, vegetables,herbs etc. all those should be grown in India.Fast growing forest and food trees also should be grown within the country.Perhaps no one is thinking in this direction.Plum,peach,nectarine,kiwi,varieties of grapes Indians also need to eat home grown. PM must have tasted few of the fruits.My request will be to arrange saplings and get planted in suitable areas.

While I was in Peru and Eritrea as Professor, I have observed crops like Avocado, Artichoke, Asparagus and Teff (in Eriytrea, Injeera is made) are grown there. First three are vegetables and last one is crop like wheat etc. I suggest our Agriculture Ministry should come forward and inform the farmers to cultivate as first three are having International demand and good for health and last is very good for health.

Important Suggestion:
Will it possible to link, "Kisan suvida app" with speech-to-text systems developed for Indian languages. Kisan suvida app with speech interface might be very beneficial to illiterate people.

The details related to Karnataka are not properly updated.

The app doesnt give good user experience and will not work as per user expectation many times.

Please improve the user experience and update the relevant details regularly.

नमस्ते ,
किसान सुविधा केंद्र एक बहुत अच्छी योजना है | जिस प्रकार स्वछ भारत अभियान चला है उसी प्रकार हमे ये योजना चलाना चाहिए | स्वछ भारत अभियान के लिए बहुत अच्छी मार्केटिंग हुई है इसी कारन यह योजना सफल हुई है | कोई भी योजना को सफल करने के लिए उस योजना को घर घर पहुचना पड़ता है | इसलिए मेरा निवेदन है की इस योजना की बहुत अच्छे से ब्रांडिंग होना चाहिए | इस योजना के लिए सरकार को कुछ प्रचारक रखना चाहिए जिस प्रकार स्वछ भारत अभियान के लिए रखे थे | हर तहसील में एक अधिकारी को भी रखना चाहिए जो सिर्फ किस

We shuld hav dedicated civil services org like IAS,IPS,IRS, etc with agri engineers/scientists, veterian docs etc holding the top posts. They shuld be laid with responsibility of formulating policies for agriculture. It will bring the serious thinking into the agri sector. The agri window should be opened for everybody through the agri dept for all the reqd assistance for doing agriculture.
There shuld be sm mechanism thrgh which people shuld be motivated to earn carbon credits.
