Hoshiarpur - Under the digital survey of crops in the district, the teams of the Revenue Department have started the work of visiting agricultural land and registering the actual crop photos online through Khasra number, which is going on at war footing in various sub-divisions. Giving information in this regard, Deputy Commissioner Ashika Jain said that by registering Khasra-Girdawari and crop photos online, modern technology will be added to the traditional Khasra-Girdawari.
She said that for the digital survey of crops, Patwaris have been equipped with smartphone-based 'Digital Crop Survey App', through which they will be able to go to the fields, enter the relevant Khasra number and take photos of the actual crop and register them online. This will not only stop misleading or fake reporting but farmers will also be able to get the right benefits of government schemes and compensation on the basis of real data. The Deputy Commissioner said that this work is going on at war footing in the district.

He said that digital crop survey will not only bring improvement and transparency in the administrative process but farmers will also be able to get government benefits and compensation on time, which will also improve their economic condition.
