Mumbai: Agribid Pvt. Ltd., one of India’s leading agri-tech solution providers, has partnered with Mahadevasth Technologies to raise awareness about mental health issues among farmers. Mental health problems account for almost one-sixth of all health-related issues in the agriculture sector, with compounding effects on farmers’ lives, such as crop failures, indebtedness, lack of social support, income disruptions, natural calamities, and career issues for younger generations. In light of these issues, Agribid Pvt. Ltd. is committed to helping farmers in any way possible, including providing mental health support.
Agribid Pvt. Ltd. recently introduced Agribid-FPO, a digital platform that connects the remotest farmers with national marketplaces to sell their commodities online with transparent pricing and ease of selling at the farm gate. Their aim is to empower farmers and reform their lives, putting them on the global map while minimizing market inefficiencies. The partnership with Mahadevasth Technologies is an extension of Agribid’s commitment to farmers’ well-being.
According to Manoj Suvarna, Co-Founder of Agribid Pvt Ltd., mental health is a crucial issue that needs to be addressed. He stated that everyone experiences anxiety or worry at some point in their lives, and while the intensity and duration may vary, it is a universal experience. Mental illness often has no physical evidence, but the pain and exhaustion it causes are profound and affect a person’s well-being deeply. Therefore, Agribid Pvt. Ltd. aims to provide mental health support to farmers to improve their lives.
Mahadevasth Technologies is a digital platform for emotional wellness that brings healing through awareness, diagnosis, and evaluation. They cover a broad range of issues under the guidance of certified experts from the fields of clinical psychology, special education, life coaching, career counseling, and spiritual healing. They provide regular updates on the latest government schemes, additional revenue streams, financial inclusion and planning, physical health awareness, and checkups. The program not only addresses emotional stressors but also other stressors that farmers may face.
Devesh Kumar, a founding member of Mahadevasth Technologies, stated that their mission is to make the world stress-free. They believe that tough times never last, but tough people do. Therefore, they encourage farmers to be mindful, grateful, positive, true, and kind. The tie-up with Agribid Pvt. Ltd. is part of their mission to help farmers improve their mental and emotional health.
Pandey Nidhi, Co-Founder of Mahadevasth Technologies, expressed her delight in partnering with Agribid Pvt. Ltd. to provide mental health awareness to the farming community in India. Through this partnership, they expect to benefit 300 FPOs and over 2.5 lakh farmers.
In conclusion, Agribid Pvt. Ltd.’s partnership with Mahadevasth Technologies is a significant step in providing mental health support to farmers, who face numerous challenges in their lives. By raising awareness of mental health issues and providing support, Agribid Pvt. Ltd. and Mahadevasth Technologies hope to improve farmers’ well-being and make a positive impact on their lives.
