Digitalizing Agricultural Practices

Problem

• Delayed data availability hampers timely interventions and efficient resource allocation.
• Manual crop surveys based on subjective estimations lead to inaccuracies and variations in data.
• Data collection, compilation, and analysis processes caused delays in obtaining and accessing critical information.
• Field visits, manual data collection, and paperwork are time-consuming and resource-intensive. 
• Human errors in data collection, transcription, and analysis resulted in unreliable information. 

Solution

• Obtaining land details from the Web Land Database and Cultivator Details from the CCRC Database. 
• Identification of Farmers by field level staff and crop booking using mobile app in both offline and online mode.
• SMS notifications and signed physical acknowledgement to farmers on the crop booking details.
• Locking based on crop sown date and crop period avoids multiple crop bookings on the same field.
• Sharing of crop booking details to procurement agencies through APIs and to the PMFBY portal on the notified crops.

Outcomes

• Negated the farmer’s movement from Pillar to post to avail himself of the benefits of the farmer welfare schemes. 
• Farmers’ data, along with crop details and extent, is maintained at the village level through Village Agriculture Assistants. 
• Enumeration of crop damages could be done in a short time with the available digitised crop-sown data.
• Captured standing crop details along with land particulars with Latlongs, geo-tagging and photographs. 
• Facilitated positioning of the required quantities of Agri and allied sector inputs at the village level prior.
