The Department has commenced the work for creating Agristack in the country. In order to create Agristack, the department has finalized the core concept of India Digital Ecosystem of Agriculture-notes-for-state-psc-exams”>Agriculture (IDEA) which lays down a framework for Agristack. For this, a Task Force was constituted and in furtherance, a concept paper on IDEA was prepared and comments were invited from subject experts, farmers, Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) and general public.
Agristack is a federated structure and ownership of data is with the States only.
Access to federated Farmers Database is with Government only. No private company is involved in developing the federated Farmers database. As of now, the federated database is being built by taking the publicly available data as existing in the Department and in various data silos in Government.
