Farmers attending the Krishi Kumbh 2026 in Nashik, Maharashtra, are being exposed to modern agricultural practices, new technologies, and government-supported digital resources to enhance productivity and increase farm revenues.
The event has gathered farmers, agricultural experts, and technology providers under one roof to showcase modern farming techniques, improved seeds, irrigation methods, and advanced agricultural machinery. This platform allows farmers to directly engage with experts and learn about scientific farming practices that can lead to higher crop yields and improved income.
The Krishi Kumbh features various stalls, exhibitions, and guidance sessions covering different aspects of the agriculture sector, attracting a significant number of farmers from the region. This year’s event has seen a surge in interest from farmers and visitors, with a special display of 14 export varieties of grapes.
Officials highlight the efforts of the Maharashtra government and the Agriculture Department in promoting modern and scientific farming methods through initiatives like the Krishi Kumbh. They aim to encourage farmers to embrace new technologies and techniques for sustainable agricultural practices.
The Agriculture Department has introduced the MahaVISTAAR-AI mobile application to provide farmers with easy access to crucial information. This app offers multiple farming services on a single platform, enabling farmers to access timely and accurate data on market prices, suitable crops for specific regions, crop conditions, and fertilizer requirements based on land area.
With the MahaVISTAAR-AI app, farmers can also obtain information on soil nutrients, pre-sowing preparations, crop management practices, and updates on weather conditions. Officials are actively registering farmers on the platform and educating them on utilizing AI for agriculture, empowering them to check market prices, explore government schemes, and leverage modern technology for improved agricultural outcomes.
Agriculture officials urge farmers to download the MahaVISTAAR-AI app, register on the platform, and leverage the benefits of modern technology, expert guidance, and government initiatives aimed at enhancing agricultural productivity and income.
