Not Available ; Since last seven decades, every sector and sphere of life in India has changed in profound ways, except the way small and marginal farmers have been marketing their farm produce. Most of them still sell their produce to village traders or at local market at much lower price than what final consumers pay for it. The existing mandi system (regulated market) has been mostly self-serving or serving their masters, instead of its clients viz. farmers. The market participation of smallholders (small & marginal, landless & sharecroppers) in the existing mandi remain poor due to long distance of market, their uneconomic lot sizes to transport, time consuming process at mandi, varying quality of produce, and interlocking with village traders for financial needs. Therefore, there is urgent need of disruptive and innovative change in agricultural market to ensure level playing field for all the farmers. In April 2016, the Government of India launched an ambitious scheme of creating electronic platform for national agricultural market, known as E-NAM and so far, connected 585 regulated markets across major states. However, the inherent weaknesses in implementation of E-NAM has left sort of the desired results. The present brief gives a conceptual framework of new market model i.e. Smart Micro-Mandi (SMM), which envisages combination of E-NAM platform, strength of JAM (Jan Dhan account, Aadhar & Mobile) and application of modern technology like, sophisticated camera & sensors, artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Thing (IoT). Such mandi would be agnostic to land-size. It has capability to offer multiple benefits to the farmers by compressing the value chain, minimizing role of middlemen, efficient price discovery, and most importantly reversing the market risks for the smallholders. ; Not Available

Not Available ; Telangana being the youngest state of India, has adopted a multi-pronged strategy to usher growth in major sectors of the economy. To achieve this, the state has devised and implemented several special programmes focusing agriculture such as Rythu Bandhu, Mission Kakathiya, Rythu Bheema, Dharani Telangana Farmers Free Pattadar Passbook Scheme, Cattle distribution, Sheep distribution and several other schemes for the benefit of Telangana farmers. One such scheme under implementation in the state is development of crop colonies. For its success, the Government has to create an enabling environment and channelize its efforts in developing backward and forward linkages through use of quality information on various aspects including consumption at disaggregate level. After reorganization of districts in this State from 10 to 31, the state was in urgent need for district level consumption data for evidence based policy formulations. To achieve these objectives, a quick but large scale household survey was conducted in the state. ; Not Available
