ATMANIRBHAR KRISHI
An Atmanirbhar India can be achieved primarily through self-reliance and self-

Findings relevant to farmers are housed in multiple national and international
databases. Atmanirbhar Krishi app seeks to aggregate this data and provide farm
and region-specific content to the farmers.
