Abstract

E-NAM was launched in April, 2016 as a tool of marketing reforms in agriculture to strengthen the network of regulated markets and augment it with alternative marketing channels. The present study aims to understand the evolution of e-NAM, its implementation and working. It also aims to understand the progress of e-NAM in J&K UT. A steady progress of integration of mandis across the country and conversion of warehouses, farm-gates and FPO collection centres as e-trading points under e-NAM is pointing towards success of the moto of ‘One Nation One Market’;. J&K has also seen rapid integration of mandis & registration of stakeholders under e-NAM in the beginning of the year 2022.
