Kisan Suvidha App

Kisaan Suvidha is a mobile app developed to help farmers by providing relevant information to them quickly.

§  The app has a simple interface and provides information on five critical parameters—weather, input dealers, market price, plant protection and expert advisories.

§  An additional tab directly connects the farmer with the Kisan call centre where technical graduates answer their queries.

§  The app was developed by the agriculture ministry.

§  To begin with, a farmer has to register the mobile number, choose a language—at present limited to Hindi and English—and enter details of the state, district and block or sub-district.

There are various special buttons in the App including weather button, market price button and plant protection button.
