The project will digitally visualize agricultural data spanning over 57,000-gram panchayats across 827 blocks in all 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh.
Yogi Adityanath, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, inaugurated an AI-driven Geographic Information Systems (GIS)-based command centre in Lucknow. Spearheaded by Agribazaar, India’s leading agritech platform and a member of the StarAgri group, this initiative is part of the crop survey project by the Uttar Pradesh Diversified Agriculture Support Project (UPDASP).
Mapping Uttar Pradesh’s Agricultural Landscape
The establishment of this command centre marks a significant milestone in ushering in a new era of data-driven agriculture in the state. Covering a vast expanse, it will visualize agricultural data spanning over 57,000-Gram panchayats across 827 blocks in all 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh.
The project was developed under the guidance of Manoj Kumar Singh, IAS, Agricultural Production Commissioner (APC), Government of Uttar Pradesh. Agribazaar is the nodal agency for the project for the next three years. It will partner with three private companies in its efforts.
“We are deeply honored to lead this pivotal initiative,” said Amit Mundawala, co-founder & Managing Director, Agribazaar. “The comprehensive data collected will serve as a scientific repository, addressing critical gaps in India’s agricultural value chain. By empowering informed decision-making, it will ultimately benefit both farmers and consumers removing information inefficiency in the Indian agri-value chain.
We’ve developed one of India’s foremost integrated agri-tech platforms, poised to revolutionize the Indian agri-sector with affordable yet customized solutions. It’s intelligent, user-friendly, and supported by our extensive on-ground agricultural knowledge, powered by AI and ML-driven future tech.”
Agribazaar is Poised to Transform Indian Agriculture
The inauguration of the GIS-based command centre underscores Agribazaar’s position as India’s foremost integrated tech-driven supply chain platform.
GIS technology holds immense potential to modernize Indian agriculture. As the nodal agency in the GIS-based Command Centre, Agribazaar’s efforts align with the government’s Amrit Kaal vision for agriculture, paving the way for an inclusive farmer-centric agricultural ecosystem.
The project will enable the real-time visualization and analysis of spatial data and provide stakeholders with valuable insights into soil health, crop yields, and weather patterns. These data-driven insights will, in turn, help enhance resource management practices, identify areas for targeted interventions, boost agricultural productivity, and improve access to farm services like credit and insurance—thus strengthening the resilience of India’s agriculture sector.
