Government Launches E-Adangal Mobile App to Help Farmers

Revenue Minister RB Udhayakumar on 5^th March 2019 launched the e-Adangal Mobile App, invented by Tamil Nadu e-Governance Authority (TNeGA) to make simpler the process of entries in ‘Adangal’ - a document that contains the details of farmlands & crops cultivated there.

The new mobile app will be helpful to growers since they themselves can put the details regarding crops being cultivated by them, output obtained etc., along with images of the crops. Presently, in every revenue village, separate registers are maintained manually for entering details like crops grown, production, details of trees in government land and many such information.

After carefully verifying the different registers every month, the VAOs issue copies of Adangal to the farmers. Until now, Adangal copy is given to cultivators only on the basis of information put by the VAOs. Hereafter, farmers themselves can enter details about crops and their yield through the mobile app.

Adangal mobile app can be easily downloaded from the Google Play store. Any difference between the information added by farmers & Village Administrative Officer will be automatically referred to the higher authorities. If the farmers concerned have any complaint in this regard then they can take the matter to RDO and Tehsildar.

Information regarding cultivation obtained through e-Adangal will be correct and will be very useful during the time of drought & natural calamities. With the use of these data, growers will get appropriate help at the earliest.

Farmers can download the e-Adangal app by paying the price fixed for it and this will be helpful in getting crop loans.
