Government constitutes task force for farmer database under AgriStack Thousands of farmers held a protest at Krishi Upaj Mandi, Sikar in September 2017
The government has constituted a task force for its ‘AgriStack’ project which will deliberate the contours of a Unified Farmers Service Platform (USFP), it said in replies to Parliamentary questions.
The question raised by Indian National Congress Member of Parliament Pradyut Bordoloi, the Union Minister for Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Narendra Singh Tomar said that the Task Force is only working a framework document and Digital Blue Print for the UFSP. The database will be built only once the Ministry approves the Task Force’s recommendations, after involving the relevant organisations.
After the agitation on the Farm Bills, one expected that the Budget would not include any more reform agenda. But this has happened and the allocation within the line item do not exhibit major change
