Abstract

In this paper, we work on the unique method of digital transformation of the distribution of seeds to the farmers; this method reduces the manual intervention by more than half of the time and makes it faster for any individual to rely on this. Agriculture is the heart of India; according to the survey in 2011, about 16% of GDP and 10% of export earnings are from agriculture. Agriculture is the primary source of income and means of living for more than 58% of India’s population. About 78% of farmers claim seeds from government every year or claims for crop insurances. This present system takes immense time for each and every step to process and happen; it is a very hectic and time-consuming process. To cope with these problems, a digital transformation solution for the distribution of seeds is introduced here, and we can even use these data for input subsidy and crop insurance settlements. Generally in the current system it’s taking from minimum 4 months to approximately upto 18 months and sometimes even more, but in our current process which we are suggesting can be done within 3–4 days.
