Through this, farmers can call trucks, tractors and other agricultural machinery on rent from their mobile app. This mobile app was launched by Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister Narendra Singh Tomar here on Friday. A total of 5.7 lakh trucks are currently available on the Kisan Rath app, which farmers can book according to their need. At the time of booking, the transporter can be negotiated about the fare, loading and unloading.
Through this app, the farmer can send any of his produce to the respective mandis according to his needs. Apart from this, a custom hiring center is also registered on the Kisan Rath app. Through this, machinery can also be booked for other farming needs.
