“We will develop Digital Public Infrastructure to remove information asymmetry in agriculture and provide farmer-centric solutions and services.”
The pledge to develop a Digital Public Infrastructure for agriculture has been delivered in framework terms.

By 2025, 19 states had signed MoUs, Farmer ID pilots were completed in six states, and the programme targets digital identities for 11 crore farmers by 2026-27. The DPI has been established and is being rolled out; full farmer coverage is the remaining scale-up. Fulfilled (with implementation ongoing).
