Agriculture Ministry signs MoU to develop national level digital extension platform
  • The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare signed an MoU in New Delhi yesterday with Digital Green under a public-private partnership framework to build a national-level digital extension platform.

  • The platform will host a digital library of curated multi-format multi-lingual content, helping extension workers access. It will also deliver curated content to farmers on time and upskill the vast network of extension workers for agriculture, horticulture, fisheries, livestock and rural livelihood missions through certified online courses.

  • The proposed national digital platform will help make an extension system more efficient and effective by connecting farmers to the strong foundation of the digital agriculture ecosystem that is being built by the government.

  • There are over two lakh extension workers in the country in agriculture, livelihood and allied sectors.
