KISAN II,
grantee Sana Kisan Krishi Sahakari Sanstha Ltd of Shantinagr-7 of Dang district
has been providing its services to its members and farmers of Shantinagar Rural
Municipality as well as to the farmers of Babai Rural Municipality. Since its
establishment, farmers have been receiving services such as saving, credit,
loan, fertilizers, collection of milk and many others.
At present,
SKKSS is working to make its member farmers more familiar with digital technology
and increasing the use of ICT (Information, Communication and Technology). To
achieve this goal, SKKSS is focused on being familiar with the use of different
applications for various administrative and strategic purposes. As a part of
this, GeoKrishi in collaboration with SKKSS got an opportunity to orient the
use of GeoKrishi, which is a mobile based application containing the
information related to efficient agriculture and livestock production methods
including weather forecast, crop protection and pest management.
The BLP (Business
Literacy Program) classes of KISAN II also provides information to the members
about ICT tools and technologies. The members are now aware on use of different
mobile applications that are useful in daily agricultural practices. The BLP classes
has given good impact on the members to be familiar with different mobile
applications with the benefits on using those applications on daily life.
