Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Monday (October 19, 2026) launched an upgraded agri welfare portal that will provide farmers with all information about the government schemes and also enable them to submit applications to avail the benefits.

The platform will serve as a single-window gateway to major government initiatives, including PM-KISAN, AgriStack and the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare said in a statement.

Farmers will get authentic information on weather conditions, scientific farming practices, the availability of seeds and fertilisers, and prevailing market prices for agricultural produce. A special training campaign will be conducted through Krishi Vigyan Kendras to help farmers make effective use of the portal and other digital tools.
