Banmankhi block in Purnia district has achieved a significant milestone in promoting digital agricultural services, ranking fifth statewide in Bihar for the installation of the Bihar Krishi App. Block Agriculture Officer Kanishth Chandra highlighted that Sahuria Subhay Milik Panchayat within Banmankhi block has also made a remarkable contribution. A record 520 farmers in this panchayat have downloaded the Bihar Krishi App, marking the highest number of downloads in a single panchayat across the state.

The success is largely attributed to the dedicated efforts of agricultural coordinators, block technical managers, and farmer advisors. Departmental personnel conducted outreach programs, visiting villages to inform farmers about the app's utility and benefits, thereby encouraging them to embrace digital agricultural services.

The Bihar Krishi App serves as a comprehensive platform, offering farmers crucial information such as weather forecasts, scientific farming techniques, details of agricultural department schemes, crop damage compensation, and market rates. This initiative is proving instrumental in connecting farmers with modern agricultural practices and enhancing the efficiency of their farming operations.
