Narendra Singh Tomar
New Delhi, September 6
Stressing the linkage between agriculture and digital technology, Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar today said the Centre and state governments must work together to give boost to the economy. He was speaking at the Chief Ministers’ conference on initiatives and schemes of the ministry.
On digital agriculture, Tomar urged all states to study the Karnataka model presented during the conference. He said ministry had created a database of 5.5 crore farmers, which would be increased to 8 crore by December with the help of state governments. A national farmer database is being created by taking record from existing schemes, like PM-KISAN, soil health card and PM Fasal Bima Yojana. — TNS
