Panchkula explores integrated AgroStack platform to link farmers' land records, crop data and credit facilities

Panchkula, Nov 11 (UNI) Panchkula is working towards an integrated digital agricultural database under AgroStack to link farmers' identities with land records, crop details, government schemes, credit facilities and insurance services, with the aim of improving farm productivity and enhancing farmers' income.
The initiative was discussed at a meeting of the District-Level Task Force on AgroStack, chaired by Deputy Commissioner Satpal Sharma at the Mini Secretariat on Tuesday. The meeting focused on suggestions for the effective use of the digital platform in agriculture, in line with the initiative of the union Ministry of Agriculture.
Sharma said AgroStack should evolve beyond a digital identity system into a comprehensive, farmer-centric platform integrating all aspects of agriculture. He stressed that the system should facilitate agricultural planning, improve productivity and ensure efficient delivery of government schemes and services. He sought suggestions from all concerned departments.
Tehsildar Suresh Kumar suggested linking farmers' IDs with digital land records, Khasra numbers, ownership details and actual cultivation information. He proposed an integrated database covering farmers, agricultural holdings, seasonal crops, irrigation facilities and soil quality. He also stressed updating records of farmers cultivating leased land and correcting discrepancies in existing land records to facilitate mutations and other revenue-related services.
The meeting also discussed bringing all agriculture-related government schemes onto a common platform, digitally identifying eligible beneficiaries, transferring subsidies directly into their bank accounts and establishing a single-window system for grievance registration and redressal.
Deputy Director Agriculture Rakesh Poria suggested simplifying Kisan Credit Card and crop loan applications through verified agricultural data. With farmers' consent, relevant information could be shared with financial institutions to facilitate credit based on their crops and farming requirements.
Officials also proposed developing a real-time database of crop acreage, sowing and production at village, block, district and state levels. Integration of satellite imagery and crop-cutting experiments with digital records would help develop data-based dashboards for agricultural planning and policymaking.
On crop insurance and disaster management, the meeting discussed integrating weather data, satellite imagery and crop insurance databases to digitally assess losses caused by hailstorms, floods, droughts and other natural disasters. The proposed system would facilitate crop damage reporting and insurance claims, besides providing advance warnings about possible pest attacks and crop diseases.
DDPO Vishal Parashar, Tehsildar Suresh Kumar, Deputy Director Agriculture Rakesh Poria, Horticulture Department representative Dr Rajesh, KVK Panchkula representative Dr Rajesh Lather and officials from other concerned departments attended the meeting.
