Building Kisan Portal: Making Government Schemes Accessible to Every Farmer

Accessing government scheme information can be a challenge for farmers across India. Many portals are either outdated, difficult to navigate, or available only in English, leaving out millions of users from rural backgrounds.

That’s where Kisan Portal comes in. It’s a simple, fast, multilingual website that curates the latest updates about major agriculture and farmer welfare schemes such as:

PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana

PM Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY)

Soil Health Card Scheme

Rythu Bharosa

eNAM Market Guide

Each guide is available in both English and Hindi, designed to be mobile-friendly and easy to understand — even on slow internet connections.

💡 Tech Stack & Hosting

We wanted to keep things lightweight, open, and fast, so we chose:

HTML + CSS + minimal JS for fast static loading

GitHub Pages, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, and Vercel for global distribution and redundancy

Search Console + Sitemap.xml setup for indexing across all versions

This structure also helps us study how search indexing behaves across multiple hosting environments — a useful case for developers working with static SEO-optimized sites.

🌱 Why It Matters

Kisan Portal is more than just an informational site — it’s a digital inclusion experiment. By simplifying government communication, it empowers users from rural India to make informed decisions about agriculture subsidies, crop insurance, and welfare programs.
