Sugarcane farmers have urged the State Government to bring sugarcane cultivation and sugar factories’ operations under a digital infrastructure.
Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday, President of Karnataka Sugarcane Growers Association Kurubur Shanthakumar cited the use of E Ganna app by the farmers and sugar factories in Uttar Pradesh that has helped the farmers receive their dues within 14 days of supplying sugarcane to the factories.
After downloading the app on their mobiles and registering themselves, the farmers need to upload details such as the extent of area under sugarcane cultivation and date of sowing on the app. After all the farmers upload the details, the calendar for harvesting and transporting sugarcane to the factories is shared with them through the app.
