The central government has introduced a new initiative, the Rs 2800 crore Digital Agriculture Mission, to greatly benefit farmers. This mission is expected to impact areas such as grain procurement at MSP, the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, and crop production estimates in the coming years. The mission is designed to streamline processes, reduce false claims for crop insurance, and boost overall efficiency in agriculture for the next two years. Let's dive into what this mission entails and how farmers will benefit from it.
The Digital Agriculture Mission aims to centralize farmer data by digitizing various agricultural records. Currently, farming and farmer-related data are scattered across different departments. For instance, land records and fertilizer applications are with state governments, while other important data are held by the Ministry of Cooperation, Ministry of Animal Husbandry, and Ministry of Rural Development. By bringing all this information into one platform, the mission will simplify the process of identifying eligible farmers and ensuring that they benefit from government schemes.
