Karnataka Agriculture Department launches drone and satellite crop survey under ‘Rait Chaitanya’ scheme
The Karnataka Agriculture Department has accelerated the use of drones and satellite imagery to conduct crop surveys across the state under its ‘Rait Chaitanya’ initiative.
The Karnataka Agriculture Department has stepped up its use of modern technology to monitor agricultural lands, initiating a comprehensive crop survey using drones and satellite imagery under the ‘Rait Chaitanya’ scheme.
The survey aims to capture high‑resolution images of crops across the state, enabling officials to assess crop health, estimate yields and identify any distress signals promptly. By integrating aerial drone data with satellite pictures, the department seeks to create a more accurate and real‑time picture of agricultural conditions.
Officials said the initiative will help improve decision‑making for resource allocation, pest control measures and farmer assistance programs. The accelerated rollout reflects the department’s commitment to leveraging advanced tools for better agricultural management.
The drone and satellite survey is part of the broader ‘Rait Chaitanya’ project, which focuses on enhancing farmer welfare and boosting productivity through technology-driven interventions.
