HORTICULTURE MAPPING
Orchard mapping for all the 44,000 villages of Maharashtra using HR
data (Year of mapping ranges from 2018 to 2020).
Village level maps overlaid with cadastral boundaries and statistics are
made available on portal.
Orchard maps & statistics can be queried and printed from Geo-portal.
Onion mapping for late kharif & rabi for selected districts.
Turmeric mapping in selected districts.

Integration of Land Records with PMFBY Portal
To ease PMFBY enrollment and to contain fraudulent enrollment, land
records integration with NCIP commissioned for Maharashtra in Rabi 2019.
Benefits
Greater ease to farmers in terms of time, money and energy to source land
records data from Revenue authority.
Prevention of Over-insurance and non insurable interest enrollment.
Savings on Premium Subsidy.
Timely reconciliation helped in early claim settlements.
Automated system contributing towards Digital India initiative
SOIL HEALTH CARD & SOIL FERTILITY INDEX (API services from NIC server, New Delhi)
Soil Health Card (SHC) linking with Cadastral Data
Soil Health Card linking with cadastral data is completed for entire state
Soil Health Cards linked as per Second Cycle (2017-18 to 2018-19)
SHC web service consumed from NIC web server located at Delhi through API
It is a live link, MRSAC is not downloading or maintaining the SHC database
Till date about 130.53 lakhs cards are distributed and same are linked with khasra numbers.
SHC viewing & printing facility is provided on MahaAgriTech Geo-portal
Soil Fertility Index (SFI): Village wise Data Compilation & Map Generation
Village wise data for all the 12 parameters are compiled for entire State
Issues such as missing, submerged, forest villages etc are sorted out
Soil Fertility Index maps and reports can be viewed using MahaAgriTech Geo-portal

Industry standard, 45 seat, modern MahaAgriTech Digital Lab is created at
VANAMATI premises Nagpur with par excellence, data storage (100 TB), data
download (50 mbps lease line), image processing (ERDAS Imagine) and GIS (ESRI)
facilities.
Lab is made operational from Aug 2021
All the activities pertaining to kharif and rabi seasons as envisaged in G.R. have been
carried out at MahaAgriTech Digital Lab
Activities such as satellite data download, image rectification, mosaicing, Digital
image processing, crop health and acreage estimation along with statistics extraction is
being carried out at VANAMATI Digital Lab.
