Digital Crop Survey Project: At a Glance

The Digital Crop Survey Project will engage local youth in villages, employing innovative technology such as geo-fencing. This streamlined approach will simplify the process of capturing crop photographs in the field. Each photo taken by the surveyor will be geo-tagged, ensuring the mandatory field visits and providing photographic evidence of the crop. This system empowers farmers to review their land records and raise objections if necessary. By integrating new technology, the project aims to foster community involvement, ensuring comprehensive village participation. Additionally, satellite imagery will offer insights into potential crops, enabling a comparative analysis. Any discrepancies identified will prompt investigative action by government officials. Through this precise crop information, the project seeks to enhance crop predictions and farming outcomes significantly.

With the implementation of the project, the farmers of the state will also get help in their procurement work and they will soon get access to KCC. Farmers will also be able to get the insurance amount immediately in case of crop loss.
