Dear Shri
Tomarji,
Many thanks for the following initiative :
Pilot
projects on digital farming in 100 villages
/ TOI – 15 April
Extract :
Ø The agriculture ministry has selected 100
villages in six states for PILOT PROJECTS on DIGITAL FARMING , leveraging the
use of TECHNOLOGY, DATA and ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ( AI ) , in supporting farmers in multiple
activities
Ø It
has signed an MOU with Microsoft India to develop farmers’ interface for
post-harvest management and distribution
Ø The
project will reduce UNIT
COSTS for farmers and make farming EASY
Ø Microsoft
has joined its local partner CropData to do
the pilot projects…….
Ø DIGITAL
TECHNOLOGY and DATA will be used to assist farmers in taking right and
cost-effective decisions
Ø With
the use of TECHNOLOGY, farming will be a profitable venture for farmers and the new generation will also
get attracted towards agriculture

MY TAKE :
Ø Selling
Farm Laws before selling Farm Crops ………………………[ 24 Sept 2020 ]
Extract :
# It is high time, Central Government / established Agro-processing
Companies and
Agro-business
EDUCATE the farmers by sharing with them the following examples of
how TECHNOLOGICAL INPUTS are revolutionizing farms in the developed
countries and raising the farmer’s income
Apeel Sciences / Plenty Unlimited Inc / Aero-Farms / Iron Ox /
Prospera / Root AI / / Not Co / Fazenda Futuro
# We will incentivize our 75 Agriculture Universities and 700 + Agriculture
Colleges , to
set up on their
AGRI-TECH INNOVATION CENTRES,
which will offer subjects on “NEW AGRI-TECH“, collaborate with Agri-
Tech Companies /
Universities
# We will incentivize these foreign AGRI-TECH companies to set up
“ PROTOTYPE “
operations in India
We will offer them free land / electricity + expenses incurred in training
Indian
farmers
There
will be one such demo-center in each of our 718 districts.

Ø How
about introducing a PLI for agricultural produce ? ………[ 08 Dec 2020

===================================================
Ø Influence
farmers and win Votes ? ……………………………….[ 04 Feb 2019 ]
Extract :
What Technology ?
We need technologies which will, dynamically / automatically, compute
for each crop ,
# the costs of all the INPUTS (water – fertilizer – seeds - power – labour
), based on NORMS
# “ Output “ from the area of land
owned by these farmers ( in Kg )
# MSP ( since INPUTS will vary from
crop-to-crop and area-to-area )
# Transfer the amount to Jan Dhan bank accounts of each beneficiary
farmer (DBT )
Ø It is possible to get our constellation of 7 NaviC satellites to “ map /
geotag “, each and every farm ( with a resolution of 1 meter ) and
calculate its area
This can be verified by using
technology offered by…. what3words
Ø For each type of crop , INPUT NORMS are already established , using
historical data
statistically established figures
# “ Agricultural Crop Assessment “ is being offered
by Planet, BlackSky, Satellogic
#
“ Humidity Sensors “ developed by Dr Shalini Prasad
Ø As far as CROP INSURANCE is concerned, Remote Sensing Satellites are
already being deployed
Ø I realize that experts ( agriculture and economy ) might laugh , if I urge
Shri Modiji :
Ø > Give our Scientists and Software Engineers a chance to develop such a
TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM , based on the following matrix , which will
ensure DBT to our farmers , within 24 hours of pre-determined EVENTS
or DATES or CABINET DECISION ANNOUNCEMENTS, without the delay
and arbitrariness of “ human intervention “
