The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare has invited over 1,000 farmers and their wives to the National Capital for a special two-day programme coinciding with the 78th Independence Day celebrations.
The guests, beneficiaries of central schemes like PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana and PM Fasal Bima Yojana, will interact with Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan at the Subramaniam Hall of PUSA on August 15.
State Ministers Ramnath Thakur and Bhagirath Choudhary will also be present.
On this occasion, Chouhan will launch the National Pest Surveillance System (NPSS), a digital initiative that leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide timely advice on pest management.
The system, which comprises a mobile app and a web portal, aims to reduce crop losses and increase productivity through real-time data and advanced analytics.
“NPSS will provide farmers with useful information, helping them make informed decisions to protect their crops,” the ministry said in a statement.
