Agribid Partners With Mahadevasth Tech For Mental Health Awareness Among Farmers

Mental health issues have compounding effects of the following: crop failure; indebtedness; lack of social support; frequent disruptions in income; natural calamity, etc

Mental health issues in farmers constitute nearly one-sixth of all health-related disorders in the agri sector. In an attempt to help farmers, one of the India's agri-tech solution providers which aims to redefine the agriculture ecosystem embedded with smart and scalable solutions Agribid ties up with Mahadevasth Technologies for providing mental health awareness amongst farmers in India. 

Mental health issues have compounding effects of the following: crop failure; indebtedness; lack of social support; frequent disruptions in income; natural calamity (drought and flood); career problems of younger generation; migration of young farmers to urban locations, etc.

Manoj Suvarna, Co-Founder, Agribid said, "We feel mental health is something that we all need to talk about. Everyone experiences a version of anxiety or worry in their lives, and maybe we go through it in a different or more intense way for longer periods of time. There is no cast, no scar, and no stitches. No x-ray with evidence of pain. Rarely is their physical evidence of mental illness, but for those suffering from pervasive mental illness, the pain and exhaustion are deep and heavy."

"We are happy to tie up with Mahadevasth Technologies. They are a digital platform for emotional wellness that brings healing through awareness, diagnosis and evaluation. This tie-up will contribute towards Agribid’s initiatives in bringing growth and positive developments in the lives of the farmers. Having good mental and emotional health is essential, we need to prioritise it,” he said further.

Devesh Kumar, founding member at Mahadevasth Technologies said, “Our program not only brings the emotional aspects but also covers a variety of other stressors. We also provide regular updates on latest government schemes, additional revenue streams, financial inclusion and planning, physical health awareness and checkups. We are happy to associate with Agribid and contribute to the initiatives for providing mental health awareness to the farming community in India.”
