💨 Abstract

The Maharashtra government will use satellite imagery and NDVI (Normalised Difference Vegetation Index) to assess crop damage and provide assistance to farmers. This technology-driven assessment will replace traditional on-field surveys and will also be used for crop insurance purposes. The initiative will roll out across the state, and NDVI data is expected to curb inflated crop damage figures. The project is expected to cost Rs 1 crore.
