PMFBY: Integrating Technology for Crop Insurance
Highlights
Technological Integration in PMFBY
The Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) incorporates Remote Sensing, Smartphones, and Drones to facilitate quick crop loss assessment and claim processing. The National Crop Insurance Portal (NCIP) digitizes interactions between farmers, insurers, and banks for efficiency.
Advanced Yield and Damage Assessment Systems
YES-TECH (Yield Estimation System Based on Technology) utilizes remote sensing for precise yield estimations. CROPIC (Collection of Real-time photos and Observations of Crops) uses geotagged photographs to verify crops, ensuring accurate damage assessment. This technological approach benefits farmers and improves insurance operations.
