The Road To Abundance: How Farming Reforms Are Changing Lives

The Indian government has implemented various schemes and programmes to promote modern agricultural technology and increase agricultural production through extension activities. The Agriculture Extension Division is responsible for implementing these initiatives, which include the Support to State Extension Programmes for Extension Reforms (ATMA), Kisan Call Centre (KCC), Agri-Clinics and Agri-Business Centres (AC&ABC) and more. The Indian government has recently established the fundamental idea of India Digital Ecosystem of Agriculture (IDEA) aimed at enhancing the agricultural ecosystem in the country. The National e-Governance Plan in Agriculture (NeGP-A), Sub Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM), National Agriculture Market (e-NAM) and Integrated Scheme for Agricultural Marketing schemes (AGMARKNET) are some of the other initiatives that have been taken by the government. These schemes aim to promote agricultural marketing infrastructure, provide digital services to farmers and traders and promote the use of modern technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics.
