Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday launched UPFPO Shakti Portal as part of Kisan Kalyan Mission at an event in Gorakhpur. The portal, which is the first of its kind in the country, is aimed at benefitting the farmers at the grassroots level. The Farmer Producer Organization-centric (FPO-centric) portal will bring farmers, producer groups, traders and the agriculture and other allied departments of the UP government on one platform. At the launch, CM Yogi Adityanath lauded the efforts of the agriculture department. "The department has been making tireless efforts to support the farmers and FPOs in the state. Just as in the past, UP had taken precedence in introducing various agri reforms, it has now launched the country's first portal fully dedicated to its farmers," Adityanath said at the event, which saw a footfall of nearly 3000 farmers.
