Impact of digital technology on Khairthal Mandi

Today there is no aspect of our life that is untouched by digital technology. Technology is being used in every field and now digital technology has also made agricultural business easier. 

And our government has also understood this, that is why the government has connected local markets like Khairthal Mandi to digital platforms through the e-Nam (National Agriculture Market) initiative. Now through e-Nam, farmers of Khairthal Mandi can list their crops online and reach buyers across the country. This initiative not only promotes local trade; but also helps farmers reach bigger markets. Also, e-Nam has played an important role in bringing transparency in the market. Earlier, farmers had to depend on the words of local traders, due to which they often did not get the right information. But now, through online platforms, demand, supply of crops, and comparison of other mandis can be done easily.

Challenges related to digital technology

Digital technology has transformed business at Khairthal Mandi, but some challenges still remain:

1. Digital Literacy: There are still many farmers who do not know how to use smartphones and the Internet. For this, the government and private organizations should run digital literacy programs. Training camps can be organized at the local level.

2. Internet connectivity: Internet access is still limited in rural areas like Khairthal. Better network facilities can accelerate this change.

3. Lack of awareness: Many farmers are not fully aware of online platforms and schemes like e-Name. Awareness campaigns at local agricultural fairs and panchayat levels can solve this problem.

Future Prospects

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI can help farmers forecast the demand for crops and give them timely selling advice. For example, AI can make suggestions based on weather, market trends, and historical data.

2. Blockchain technology : It can make transactions more transparent, thereby increasing trust between farmers and traders.

3. Drones and IoT: With the help of drones and Internet of Things (IoT), the quality and quantity of crops can be easily assessed, which will further speed up trade in the market.

In this way, agricultural trade will become easier with the help of digital technology.
