Indian agriculture started changing with the beginning of the Green Revolution as it was later on a trail of larger accomplishments. Agriculture is the main core for food security, nutrient security, supportable development, and poverty alleviation. As technology developed, there were various developments in each sector even in the agricultural sector.
Earlier farmers and their families were involved in farming, working on the field for a whole day for months. All they could do was take judgment regarding the weather, the crops, and various other things and make a decision accordingly. So this would result in success or sometimes into failure and all their efforts would go in vain. Methodology of trial and error has brought Indian farming a long way and today we are able to support this earliest knowledge with technology.
Previously, farmers had difficulties when crops used to die or get damaged as some don’t have the proper knowledge or they don’t have proper resources on how they can help crops survive. Technology has taken a huge leap. There are apps like plantix, krishifywhich can help farmers in certain ways. Such apps serve a complete solution for farmers as it is a solution for crop production and management. For example:- If a farmer uses this app or any such apps they can click a photo of damaged crops and can instantly get solutions from his fellow farmer friends online. Such apps can turn your mobile into a doctor by providing all the requirements you need to revive the crops. This app covers over 30 major crops and 400+ plant damages so this app would be helpful for farmers in many great ways.
We keep on building such apps which can help in the production of crops and management. Such as a farmers app would be helpful for farmers as they provide such information which would be crucial. Information like:
Disease Alert:- Apps will notify you in advance if there is any disease about to strike your locality or you can say your district.

Cultivation Tips:- These apps will provide farmers with tips which can be helpful to get most of the crops or any suggestion which can ease the difficulties they would be facing.
Farmers visit mandi (local market) to sell their crops but if they sell the same crop through a mandi bhav app would be a great advantage to farmers and such apps could give them better prices compared to local mandi would be helpful for farmers.
