Farmers in Punjab will have access to latest technology through smartphones given to them by the government of Punjab. The technology incorporation will help these farmers get better yields and secure their crops from weeds. The circulating reports suggest that as much as 5 million farmers will get the low-cost smartphones.
Through these smartphone, farmers will be in contact with experts who will continue to push updates for betterment of crops. In addition, basic updates about weather, weeds, and pesticides will also be shared. The biggest advantage of these smartphones is access to funds that can be sent back and forth through mobile financial services.
