eNAM mandis in this populous state to get better internet speed soon
Uttar Pradesh has set up 100 eNAM mandis in the country and are operational with 27.31 lakh registered farmers so far. At present, farmers are trading online within a mandi in the state. Inter-mandi trading is also being tested on a pilot basis in selective mandis. "Poor internet connectivity is a major problem. Internet speed is necessary for both to operate eNAM app on mobile phone and even on desktop . We have issued a tender to BSNL to install leased lines. The work has begun," a senior Agriculture Ministry official said
An official said that out of 100 eNAM mandis in UP, around 20 mandis are active including Lakhimpur and Saharanpur mandis, while some are yet to pick business volumes. Image source: PTI
