New Delhi: Union Minister for the Development of the North East Region Jyotiraditya Scindia on Friday launched the North East Region Agri Commodity E-Connect (NERACE). This initiative is designed to benefit farmers in the region and position it as a hub for high-value horticultural products in the international market. The NERACE app aims to support a variety of agricultural and horticultural products such as spices, fruits, vegetables, pulses, cereals, and minor forest products. It is also intended to promote the Northeast as a reliable partner in the international agricultural value chain.
Scindia expressed his excitement about the launch on social media, posting on X, "Digital India for North-East farmers! Delighted to launch NE-RACE App - an online global platform for North East Farmers, which will play a pivotal role in positioning the Northeast as a hub of high-value horticultural products. It will make the farmers of the region not just the producers but also as a reliable partner in the international agri value chain."
In addition to launching the app, Scindia met with Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma to discuss future plans for the region's growth and prosperity. Their discussions focused on creating a developed Northeast, aligning with PM Modi's vision of Vikshit Bharat. Scindia wrote on X, "Today with CM Shri @SangmaConrad Ji held a productive meeting with officials of Meghalaya govt, @NEC_GoI, and @MDoNER. Together we strategized on key areas of work and future plans. With a focus on 'Technology, Environment, and Tourism' we strive to strengthen regional connectivity, build robust infrastructure, maximize Meghalaya's competitive & comparative advantages, and drive Meghalaya to a more prosperous era of growth. #ViksitPurvottar."
Earlier in the week, Scindia held a review meeting to discuss the 100-day action plan of the Department of Posts. Under his leadership, the department aims to transform service delivery and enhance efficiency through several key initiatives. According to the Ministry of Communications, the Department of Posts will organize 5,000 Dak Chaupals across the country within 100 days. This initiative aims to bring essential government and citizen-centric services directly to rural areas, improving accessibility and convenience. Dak Chaupals will serve as vital links between rural residents and government functions, reducing barriers such as distance and accessibility.
Additionally, the Dak Ghar Niryat Kendra Scheme is set to bolster rural exports by supporting small-scale exporters. This initiative will provide essential services, including documentation assistance, market information, bar-coded label printing, and paperless customs clearance.
