Maharashtra Permits Offline Crop Registration Amid Digital Survey App Issues
Maharashtra's government has allowed farmers to register their crops offline using the e-ferfar system due to technical issues with the Centre's Digital Crop Survey mobile app during the Kharif season. A Government Resolution permits talathi-level crop inspections where online registration is hindered by app glitches, such as inaccurate field mapping and missing farmer details. The state introduced technical updates to the app on December 1, 2024, aiming to improve registration via the AgriStack platform, but problems persist in some areas.
