The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare plans to launch CROPIC.
It is a study to gather crop information using field photographs and AI-based models.
CROPIC stands for Collection of Real Time Observations & Photo of Crops.
Crops will be photographed four-five times during their cycle, and the pictures will be analysed to assess their health and potential mid-season losses.
The ministry also plans to conduct this study for the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY).
