ICCC: Govt’s Integrated
farm data dashboard for customised solutions
What's
in the news?
●
Recently, the Union Agriculture Minister
inaugurated a Krishi Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) established
at Krishi Bhavan in New Delhi.
Krishi
Integrated Command and Control Centre:
●
It is a technology-driven solution housed
within the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare to facilitate informed decision-making.
Objectives:
●
It aims to comprehensively monitor the
agricultural sector by consolidating
geospatial information from various sources, including remote sensing, soil
surveys and weather data from the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
Working:
●
The center employs cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence,
remote sensing, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to gather and process
extensive data on factors like temperatures, rainfall, wind speed, crop yields,
and production estimates. This data is then presented graphically.
Features
of the Centre:
1.
Crop Information:
●
Provides insights into crop yields,
production, drought situations and cropping patterns through map, timeline, and
drill-down views.
2.
Data Analysis:
●
Offers analysis of trends, outliers, Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs), and feedback on agricultural schemes, programs,
projects, and initiatives.
3.
Platforms Used:
●
Utilizes platforms like the Krishi
Decision Support System (DSS) to collect micro-level data and present a macro
view.
4.
Individual Farmer Advisories:
●
Facilitates the generation of
farmer-specific advisories through apps like Kisan e-mitra, leveraging AI and
machine learning algorithms.
●
This involves identifying farmers through
their mobile numbers or Aadhaar, matching them with field information from land
records and historical crop sowing data, and delivering customized advisories
in local languages using the Bhashini platform.
