57.56 lakh farmers of the country were trained to do farming with new technology from the Atma Scheme, why are you left behind. Contact and avail benefits here
China, Germany, USA and Canada are ahead of us in terms of agriculture because technology is more used in farming. In many crops, we have much lower productivity than these countries. That is why the Modi government is working towards changing the way of farming itself. For this, the government has created a scheme called ‘Atma-Agriculture Technology Management Agency’. Under which, under various schemes related to agriculture, farmers will be trained to do modern farming.
Farmers can move forward only when they use new technologies. Understand the schemes and take advantage of them. Use advanced seeds. Under the scheme, training to farmers, farm demonstration, farmer fairs, organizing farmer groups and operation of farm schools are going on. So far, 57,56,402 farmers have been trained to cultivate with new technology. To take advantage of this, you can seek information from the Deputy Director of Agriculture of your district or the officials of Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVK).

Information on new varieties will be available from Farm Demonstration
An officer of Krishi Vigyan Kendra said that the demonstration of new seeds of a crop is also done under this scheme. Before the Agriculture Department, any seed comes to the KVK. KVK gets him planted on his campus and farmers in his field. Inputs like seeds, fertilizer and medicine are given to him. It is known how the seed of that species performed in the farmer’s field. Other farmers are also visited on similar fields. Farmers are trained at the block level.Farming will benefit from new technology
Attempts to create synergy between agricultural scientists and farmers
Many times agricultural scientists make a model but they fail in the field. Through this scheme, efforts are being made to create good coordination between agricultural scientists and farmers. In this, farmers are trended to increase production and productivity of rice, wheat, pulses, oilseeds. Whereas information about fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, spices, flowers, aromatic plants, coconut, cashew and bamboo, etc. are given under the Horticulture Development Mission. So that farmers can cultivate with new technology and their income can be increased. Cultivation in a scientific way can yield more at a lower cost.
Yield decreases due to non-replacement of seeds
Agricultural Scientist Prof. Saket Kushwaha says that to increase the income of farmers, farming is necessary by scientific method. We are far behind in many countries in terms of use of machines and new things in agriculture. If the agricultural productivity in our country is equal to that of China and America, then the income of farmers will automatically double. Our farmers hesitate to adopt modern agriculture. We do not have a process to change seeds every year. Only for this reason the yield decreases by 20 percent.
