The state government has also launched a new mobile application that will offer the farmers to get connected with technology. The name of this unique mobile application is Uzhavan App. The application will offer agricultural workers the necessary information in local language as well as in English. One can download the app from Google PlayStore without any extra charges. The farmers will be able to acquire nine different services from this application.
