Agriculture is a vital sector in India, providing a living for millions of people. Farmers, on the other hand, frequently face obstacles such as a lack of information, market volatility, and a lack of bargaining power. To address these difficulties, the KisaanSarthak platform was created, which allows farmers to get access to markets, information, and financial services.
KisaanSarthak is a technology-based platform that connects
farmers with buyers, processors, and other agricultural supply chain partners.
Farmers can register on the platform and build profiles that include
information about themselves, their products, and their farming practises.
Buyers utilise this information to find and identify farmers who can supply the
products they require.
One of the platform's most important advantages is the
opportunity for businesses to request product samples from farmers. This helps
to guarantee that items meet quality requirements before they enter the market.
After a company approves a sample, negotiations on a contract for the product's
supply can commence. The website also manages payments between buyers and
farmers, ensuring that farmers are paid on time and fairly for their products.
KisaanSarthak, in addition to facilitating trade, gives
farmers access to information on government schemes, market prices, weather
forecasts, and farming techniques. Farmers can also use the platform to connect
with experts and other farmers for advice and support. This contributes to
increased agricultural productivity, cost savings, and overall efficiency.
KisaanSarthak has had great success in empowering farmers
and increasing their income. By providing a consistent source of income, the
platform has reduced farmers' reliance on middlemen and enabled them to
negotiate better prices for their products. The platform has also assisted in
the creation of new market opportunities for farmers, such as access to export
markets.
As students at the Government College of Engineering in
Nagpur, we got the opportunity to work on a project called KisaanSarthak under
the supervision of Dr. Latesh Malik, Head of the Department of Computer Science
and Engineering. Our four membered team consisting Kaustubh Lanjewar, Piyush Singh, Prajwal Bhandarkar and Yuvraj Totade, was able to understand the complexity of the
agricultural sector and design a platform that might potentially alter the
lives of millions of farmers in India because to her experience and advice.
In conclusion, KisaanSarthak is an innovative platform with
the potential to transform India's agricultural sector. Our team was able to comprehend the
complexities of the agricultural sector and create a platform that has the
potential to transform the lives of millions of farmers. The platform has
helped to improve the efficiency, transparency, and profitability of the
agricultural supply chain by leveraging technology to connect farmers with
buyers and other stakeholders. Farmers have also benefited from the platform's
access to information, market opportunities, and financial services. KisaanSarthak
has the potential to drive long-term development in the Indian agricultural
sector with continued support and investment.
