• Average Cropping Intensity in India: 137%
Irrigated Net Sown Area: 64.3m hectares
Potential to increase cropping insurance
Cropping Intensity
• Top Cropping Intensive States Punjab
Haryana Uttarakhand
• Least Cropping Intensive States
Jharkhand Tamil Nadu Assam
*NSA over 100,000 hectares
Cropping
Intensive States
•Cropping Intensity can be optimized by obtaining
consistent values to check the quality of soil, distressed areas and fertile spots.
•Measures
•Selective Mechanization
•Precision Farming
Measures to increase
By engaging UAV service providers, accurate values can be gathered thereby enabling incisive decisions on other
fronts such as crop insurance, compliance, ground realities and crop / soil health improvement measures
TRADITIONAL INSTRUMENTS IN AGRICULTURE
Traditional Practices
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(UAV)
UAVs over incumbent mechanisms
• Low altitude flights that can capture more details
• Limited cloud interference with the survey
• Cost effective as chartering planes with sensors involve scheduling and fuel rates
• Ergonomic value considering the ease of usage and
• Can obtain crop parameters with a
high degree of accuracy
LIMITATIONS OF ALERNATIVES
High Costs
Subject to Weather Conditions
Prior Arrangements needed
Cloud clearance issues
Numeric
transmission issues
Human Error More qualitative outputs
Ergonomic Risk Free
Cost Effective Accurate
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Drones as a Service) can enable data driven decisions on various fronts
namely health measures for distressed soil areas, insurance calculations based on crop health among
others
CROP INSURANCE ISSUES
Discrepancy in area insured
Poor Land record management
Incorrect claims based on inconsistent data
Lack of Early warning system for crop failure Lack of transparency and common platform for agricultural land data
Fertile insured land not under cultivation
Traditionally barren land fraudulently insured
Area insured, greater than area sown
CROP INSURANCE ISSUES
• Limitations in gathering correct data points for insurance schemes
• Delayed crop health estimations resulting in poor insurance payment turnaround
• Locate experimental plots in villages for CCEs. Non validation of values recorded by local accountant
Incorrect Raw Data
Miscalculated insurance
payouts
Delayed payment turnaround
Faulty crop analysis Impact on
insurance schemes

• Land Record Issues:
• Issues with transparency and clarity
• Land redistribution and acquisition issues
• Limitations in correlating cadastral data with ground features and identifying location and extent of plots
• Proposal:
• A turnkey solution for accurately identifying a given plot number on a map with ground features and GPS
coordinates.
• Technology:
• The solution integrates aerial data, existing land records and accurate GPS data, allowing a user to remotely identify plots with their survey numbers.
