Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) is collaborating with the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmer Welfare, Government of India, on Project VISTAAR, which seeks to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the agricultural extension system through Digitalization.

 

The Pilot Project VISTAAR (Virtually Integrated System to Access Agricultural Resources) seeks to further strengthen the agricultural extension system.

How it will help?

Digitalization of the existing extension system will expand its outreach substantially and enable every farmer to access high-quality advisory services on crop production, marketing, value and supply chain management.

The process of digitalization augments the current agricultural extension system by providing timely, contextual and accurate information and advisories to the farmers on agriculture and allied sectors.
