designed for <strong>Indian agriculture.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Features<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>It captures minute details from the vast expanse of fields to the smallest soil particle.<\/li>\n<li>The platform provides seamless access to <strong>comprehensive data<\/strong> including satellite images, weather information, reservoir storage, groundwater levels and soil health information, which can be easily accessed from anywhere at any time.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019ll also give near <strong>real-time information<\/strong> on various indicators such as soil moisture,

(potential of hydrogen), soil health, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Significance<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>It will enable the government to <strong>understand cropping patterns<\/strong> by analysing parcel-level crop maps of different years.<\/li>\n<li>The feature on <strong>drought monitoring<\/strong> in this platform will help the government to stay ahead of drought.<\/li>\n<li>It will enable the government to <strong>accurately identify field-parcel units<\/strong>, which will help in understanding each parcel&#8217;s unique needs, and cropping patterns, for targeted interventions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Soil data<\/strong> will help the government in assessing crop suitability and land capability for implementing soil-water conservation measures, officials said.<\/li>\n<li>That apart, <strong>the ground-truth data library<\/strong> of Krishi-DSS will help in fostering innovation by providing essential resources for different crops to researchers and the industry.<\/li>\n<li>By integrating data sources available on Krishi-DSS, various farmer-centric solutions \u2014 such as <strong>right individual advisories to farmers<\/strong>, early disaster warnings like pest attacks, heavy rain, hailstorms, etc. \u2014 can be developed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>It is <strong>developed jointly<\/strong> by the <strong>Ministry of Agriculture and the
