Krishi-Decision Support System (DSS)
Context
The Government has launched a digital geo-spatial platform, Krishi-Decision Support System (DSS), which will share real-time data-driven insights on weather patterns, soil conditions, crop health, crop acreage and advisories with all stakeholders — such as farmers, experts and policymakers.
What is Krishi-Decision Support System (DSS)?
- Krishi-DSS was a first-of-its-kind geospatial platform specifically designed for Indian agriculture.
- The platform provides seamless access to comprehensive data, including satellite images, weather information, reservoir storage, groundwater levels and soil health information, which can be easily accessed from anywhere at any time.
- Application:Krishi-DSS includes several advanced modules designed to support comprehensive agricultural management.
- Crop Management:With crop mapping and monitoring, cropping patterns will be understood by analysing parcel-level crop maps over the different years. This information helps in understanding crop rotation practices and promotes sustainable agriculture by encouraging the cultivation of diverse crops.
- Drought and Flood Monitoring: It provides near real-time information on soil moisture, water storage, and other critical indicators.
- Policy Support: It helps inform agricultural policies and disaster response strategies.
