Maha Agritech

MahaAgriTech project initiated by GoM is a unique project envisaging synergistic use of multiple technologies towards improving agriculture situation in the State. The main objective of the project is to maximise the use of modern technology, especially with the help of satellite imaging and drone technology, to accurately calculate crop-wise area, conduct crop health surveys, estimate post-harvest yields and integrate information from various computer systems for giving accurate advice and guidance to farmers through an integrated computer and mobile application system. For this project, separate web portal and mobile application has been developed.
