Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Monday (October 19, 2026) launched an upgraded agri welfare portal that will provide farmers with all information about the government schemes and also enable them to submit applications to avail the benefits.
Addressing the launch programme, Mr. Union Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Secretary Atish Chandra, Additional Secretary Pramod Meherda, senior officials from the Digital Agriculture Division and other officials from the ministry and the National Informatics Centre were present at the launch.
The platform will serve as a single-window gateway to major government initiatives, including PM-KISAN, AgriStack and the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare said in a statement. “The portal aims to provide farmers across the country with direct, easy access to government schemes, financial assistance and reliable agricultural information on their mobile phones, eliminating procedural hurdles and the role of intermediaries,” the statement said. Chouhan said the Prime Minister’s vision is to ensure that the government remains accessible to citizens and farmers at all times through their mobile phones. “With the upgraded portal, farmers will no longer need to visit multiple government offices or navigate different websites to obtain information about schemes or submit applications,” Mr. Chouhan said. Elaborating on the benefits of the portal, the ministry said all services would be available in one place. “Information on the ministry’s schemes, subsidies, rules and digital services will be available on a single portal, reducing the time and effort farmers spend navigating multiple platforms.”
