> In the last two years, the government has launched nine agricultural apps

> Farmers expected their lives would change with the launch of apps that promised to give them a range of information — right from weather updates to availability of good quality seeds and harvesting and selling of crops > They soon realised the apps are of little use, thanks to frequent power cuts, lasting from five hours to 12 hours daily, combined with poor internet connections > In Uttar Pradesh only 37 per cent households have electricity connections, compared to 67 per cent nationwide.
