Telangana Launches Urea Distribution App for Farmers
The Telangana Agriculture Department is launching a new app to help farmers get urea, which is a type of fertilizer.
Farmers can use the app to book urea from home using their mobile number and a special passbook.
The app will show how much urea is available in different areas, just like booking movie tickets.
The government and private shops will have urea distribution centers.
Farmers need to say which crops they are growing to get the right amount of urea.
Small farmers will get all their urea at once, while big farmers will get it in parts.
Tenant farmers can also use the app with the help of the landowners.
The app will first be used for urea, and other fertilizers will still be bought the old way.
The government says this will help farmers get urea on time and avoid problems like shortages.

Farmers can book urea using a mobile number and Pattadar Passbook, with stock availability checked at district, mandal, and village levels.
Urea distribution will be crop-based, with small farmers receiving supplies in one instalment and large farmers in two or three instalments.
Tenant farmers can book urea by entering Aadhaar, name, and Pattadar Passbook details, with landowners validating the transaction via OTP.
The app will initially be for urea, while other fertilizers like DAP will continue to be purchased through regular channels.
