CSIR-Central Road Research Institute (CSIR-CRRI), New Delhi has developed Kisan Sabha App to connect farmers to supply chain and freight transportation management systems. The portal aims to act as a one-stop solution for farmers, transporters, and other entities engaged in the agriculture Industry.
Kisan Sabha aims to provide the most economical and timely logistics support to the farmers and increase their profit margins by minimizing the interference of middlemen and directly connecting with the institutional buyers.
It will provide the best market rates of crops by comparing the nearest mandis, booking freight vehicles at the cheapest cost thereby giving maximum benefit to the farmers.
Kisan Sabha provides a platform for people who want to buy directly from the farmers.
The portal connects the farmers, transporters, Service providers including pesticides and fertilizer dealers, cold store and warehouse owner, mandi dealers, customers, and other related entities for timely and effective solutions.
The portal acts as a single stop for every entity related to agriculture, be they a farmer who needs better price for the crops or mandi dealer who wants to connect to more farmers or truckers who invariably go empty from the mandis.
Kisan Sabha also works for people in the agriculture services sector such as dealers of fertilizers and pesticides, who can reach out to more farmers for their services.
It would also prove to be useful for those associated with cold stores or godowns.
Kisan Sabha has 6 major modules taking care of Farmers, Mandi, Dealers, Mandi Board Members, Service Providers, and Consumers.
