Government asks state government to speed up implementation of e-NAM

29 Jul 2016 Evaluate

The government has set a total target of integrating 585 mandis with the electronic national agriculture market (e-NAM) by March 2018. The state governments have been instructed to speed up implementation of e-NAM to achieve the target of integrating 200 mandis by September this year.

Presently, only 23 mandis in eight states have been integrated with the e-NAM. Eight states - Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka - which have already integrated some mandis have informed the centre that they will bring more mandis to the e-NAM platform by next month.

The Prime Minister Narendra Modi in April had launched the e-NAM scheme in 21 mandis of eight states. The scheme is expected to benefit farmers through enhanced market access by way of allowing remote online bidding for their produce, removal of information asymmetry between buyers and sellers, real-time price discovery based on actual demand-supply gap through transparent online auction and online payment directly to farmers’ accounts.
