In a significant move towards integrating digital solutions in agriculture, Union Textiles Minister Giriraj Singh introduced the Kapas Kisan app, designed by the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) to serve farmers engaged in cotton production. The mobile application promises to simplify and expedite the procurement process under the Minimum Support Price (MSP) scheme.
The app enables farmers to register independently, select convenient procurement slots, and track payment progress, all aimed at fortifying transparency and expediting procedures. Singh emphasized the app's role in preventing distress sales and underscored its alignment with the Digital India initiative, aiming for streamlined and fair MSP operations.
Apart from offering real-time updates on quality assessments and payment processing, the app incorporates user-friendly features such as multi-language support, reducing manual documentation and crowding at procurement centers. This move marks a proactive step in safeguarding farmers and enhancing the cotton trade's efficiency.
