Q. Which ministry has launched the Digital Crop Survey (DCS) System?
Answer: Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare
Notes: The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare introduced the Digital Crop Survey (DCS) System to collect real-time crop data through a mobile interface. It provides accurate, up-to-date crop area details for better production estimates. Agri Stack was developed under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, ensuring farmers' data privacy and security. Farmers' data is collected only with consent and shared securely using encryption, APIs, and token-based authentication. The system follows cybersecurity guidelines from MeitY and CERT-In, with regular security audits. Digital inclusion is ensured via Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), Krishi Sakhis, and Common Service Centres (CSCs).
