Krishi- Decision Support System (DSS)

The Union Agriculture Ministry launched the Krishi-Decision Support System (DSS).
It is a digital geospatial platform providing real-time, data-driven insights on weather, soil conditions, crop health, acreage, and advisories to farmers, experts, and policymakers.
Described as a significant milestone in India’s agricultural innovation, the platform offers seamless access to comprehensive data, including satellite images, weather updates, reservoir storage, groundwater levels, and soil health.
The system enables crop mapping and monitoring, allowing analysis of cropping patterns and promoting sustainable agriculture through diverse crop cultivation.
It is also useful for drought monitoring.
