The Union Agriculture Minister along with the Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology has launched Kisan Sarathi App.

Note: The app was launched on the occasion of 93rd Foundation Day of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research(ICAR).

Kisan Sarathi is a digital platform launched in order to facilitate farmers to get ‘right information at right time’ in their desired language.
The app will facilitate officials to monitor daily activities like farmer registration, live calls, messages, advisories given and pending.
Moreover, the app is also supposed to let farmers interact with personalised advisors directly from the scientists of Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVKs).

ICAR is an autonomous organisation under the Department of Agricultural Research and Education (DARE), Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare.
Mandate: The Council is the apex body for coordinating, guiding and managing research and education in agriculture including horticulture, fisheries and animal sciences in the entire country.
President: Union Minister of Agriculture serves as its president.
