During the programme, Shri Amit Shah will launch several important digital and farmer-centric initiatives of NAFED. These include NAFED-KALYAN scholarship for children of farmers, DRISHTI portal for inventory management of pulses and oilseeds, ERP portal for strengthening enterprise resource planning, and the auction portal NAFEX.in. A live registration demonstration on the auction portal and launch of auction process will also be held during the programme.
The launch of NAFEX.in is an important step towards strengthening transparency, efficiency and ease of operations in the auction process. The portal is expected to provide a digital platform for streamlining auction-related activities and enhancing the overall functioning of NAFED in the interest of farmers, member institutions and stakeholders.
On the occasion, the Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation will also distribute NAFED-KALYAN scholarship cheques to children of farmers. The initiative reflects NAFED’s commitment towards farmer welfare and supporting the education of farmers’ children.
After the launch programme, Shri Amit Shah will meet members of NAFED’s Board of Directors. During the meeting, a presentation will be made by NAFED on its activities and progress, including action taken on the directions given by the Union Minister during his previous visit and on the future roadmap of NAFED.
NAFED plays a significant role in supporting farmers, agricultural marketing, procurement and cooperative-based agricultural trade. The launch of these digital and welfare initiatives is aligned with the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of “Sahkar Se Samriddhi” and the Government’s efforts to strengthen cooperative institutions through technology, transparency and farmer-centric reforms.
