SDG 9: INDUSTRY, INNOVATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE

National Policy Interface

  • Inclusion of eco-labels and certifications within Pradhan Mantri Sampada Yojana (PMKSY) is essential to encourage sustainable farming practices and sustainable consumption.
  • To address the limited adoption of energy-efficient technologies, promoting the use of smart warehouses and renewable energy sources is crucial, facilitating both cost reduction and environmental benefits.
  • Collaboration between PMKSY and the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare must be strengthened to ensure synergy in efforts across the entire agricultural value chain.
  • Reinforcing the cold storage infrastructure policy requires a broader focus beyond potatoes to encompass various perishables.
  • Enhancing the user interface of agricultural apps demands the resolution of accessibility issues, prioritizing user-friendly features, language support, and improving connectivity for market information.
