mKisan is a unique and effective web based portal that extensively uses mobile/SMS for its outreach, both for officials as well as for farmers. It provides timely knowledge inputs or advisories to the farming community so as to increase their productivity and assist them in getting best remunerations for their produce through SMS facility. These inputs are in the form of information related to availability of quality seeds, fertilizers, credit, weather information, proper sowing period and conditions or use of correct type and quantities of pesticides/insecticides by the experts. The project conceptualized, designed and developed in-house within the Department of Agriculture & Cooperation has widened the outreach of scientists, experts and Government officers posted down to the Block level to disseminate information, give advisories and to provide advisories to farmers through their mobile telephones.
