Delhi to digitise farm records for accurate payments
The Delhi government is going to create a digital record of all farmland and farmers.
This will help make sure that the information about farms is correct and up-to-date.
The government will use this information to make payments for things like crop insurance, compensation, and subsidies.
The central government has promised to give money to help with this project.
The Delhi government will also replace the old way of checking crops with a new digital system.
This will make everything more transparent and prevent fake claims.
The project will be monitored to make sure it is completed on time.
Delhi will create a digital database of farmland and farmers to ensure accurate land records.
The project is part of the Centre's SASCI scheme, with funds released in phases based on performance.
The digitisation aims to eliminate discrepancies in crop insurance, compensation, and subsidy schemes.
A digital farmer registry, complete digital map of agricultural land, and digital crop survey will be created.
The project will involve geo-referencing all agricultural land with an accuracy of 20 metres.
