Development Phase
Capacity Building: The major issues identified for integrating the Private/NGO- Public sector with RKMP are as follows1. Private Sector information on
public portal : Challenges2. Incorporating service
component into RKMP3. Platforms/Interface
development for Private sector
4. Advertisements: prospects and issues
5. Mobile Applications of RKMP – Perspectives of Private sector.
Collaboration : Companies like Mahindra Samriddi and Savannah seeds have shown interest in collaborating with RKMP, companies have come forward to showcase their products on the portal
Development Phase: The views of the rice stakeholders in the private sector were
taken into account for developing the portal
and serving them better
