The Bihar Department of Agriculture was presented with the SCOCH Gold Award 2025 at the SCOCH Awards in New Delhi, celebrating digital innovation in the agricultural sector. The award acknowledged the Bihar Krishi App, a key initiative of the Bihar government focused on empowering farmers. The app provides a unified digital platform with information and resources related to farming.
Farmers using the app can access modern crop management techniques, details on government schemes, market prices, training materials, and technical assistance. This digital platform aids farmers by improving their access to information, enhancing produce quality, minimizing costs, and ultimately connecting them with the market for better pricing.
