Prime Minister: Farmers to Know Tomorrow’s Rain Forecast via Krishi Card

Prime Minister Tareque Rahman announced that farmers will be able to access tomorrow’s rain forecast on their mobile phones through the Krishi Card (Farmer Card), in addition to receiving various other benefits for agricultural work. He stated that there are initial plans to distribute this card to 40 lakh (4 million) farmers. This will enable farmers to make informed decisions regarding agricultural activities such as seed sowing and fertilizer application based on weather information.

The Prime Minister made these remarks on Tuesday (October 20) at a public rally organized by the BNP in Rajshahi’s historic Madrasa Maath.

Tareque Rahman stated that the BNP believes the nation will thrive if agriculture and farmers prosper. With this goal in mind, the initiative to launch ‘Farmer Cards’ or Krishi Cards for farmers has been undertaken. The process of preparing lists of small, medium, marginal, landless, and large farmers is already underway. Efforts will be made to complete this work and progressively distribute the cards to farmers within the next few days.
