Mr Munda said that today technology has become an integral part of everyone’s life and the government has its own responsibility as a partner.
He said that it is the government’s intention to further support people so that everyone can benefit from the technology.
He said that with complete transparency, commitment and goal, the government wants that even a common farmer living in a village can make himself self-reliant with technology.
”No matter how proficient we are in any field, agriculture is a particularly important task because humans cannot live without food. That is why; we have given importance to the agricultural sector and called farmers Annadata because it is through them that food grains are stored in the country,” he said.
Mr Munda said that the objective of the new initiative is to provide farmers the information about the reality in the farm and also to find out what are the real challenges the agriculture sector is facing. He said that with the availability of real-time data and its analysis, their problems can be resolved.
He said the farmers will also be able to avail the benefits of government schemes. This digital innovation is an important opportunity to reflect India in the 21st century.
