&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;As the managing director of CropData Sachin Suri explained to Microsoft&amp;rsquo;s news desk last year, the abstract looking artwork behind him is not a painting. &amp;ldquo;This is actually a spectral analysis satellite image of farms. Each tiny spot, or a geo-spatial tile, is an actual field in Punjab and the different colors denote the stress levels in individual farms.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;That frame is the crux of what CropData, a Microsoft partner, and by extension the Union agriculture ministry&amp;rsquo;s new data aggregation scheme is all about.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Nagpur agritech startup uses data collected from farms across the country to create &amp;lsquo;post harvest solutions&amp;rsquo; for farmers: an online marketplace to connect them with corporate buyers, algorithm modules to help banks extend them credit, and a digitised supply chain intended to improve &amp;lsquo;transparency&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;On April 14 the government signed a memorandum of understanding with Microsoft permitting CropData to work in 100 villages across ten districts in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Gujarat and Andhra.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Union agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar told the press &amp;ldquo;The company will help farmers by building a collaborative platform and capturing agriculture datasets such as crop yields, weather data, market demand and prices.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The MoU is unavailable in the public domain. But according to reports it could potentially give Microsoft access to a database of 5 crore farmers and their land records maintained by the government, with the possibility of more data being added to it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The signing comes closely on the heels of a new project called &amp;lsquo;Agristack&amp;rsquo;, a platform the government says is meant to tackle long-standing agricultural problems such as low use of bank credit and wastage in agricultural supply chains.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;On April 14 the government signed a memorandum of understanding with Microsoft permitting CropData to work in 100 villages across ten districts in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Gujarat and Andhra.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;That frame is the crux of what CropData, a Microsoft partner, and by extension the Union agriculture ministry&amp;rsquo;s new data aggregation scheme is all about.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Nagpur agritech startup uses data collected from farms across the country to create &amp;lsquo;post harvest solutions&amp;rsquo; for farmers: an online marketplace to connect them with corporate buyers, algorithm modules to help banks extend them credit, and a digitised supply chain intended to improve &amp;lsquo;transparency&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;On April 14 the government signed a memorandum of understanding with Microsoft permitting CropData to work in 100 villages across ten districts in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Gujarat and Andhra.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Union agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar told the press &amp;ldquo;The company will help farmers by building a collaborative platform and capturing agriculture datasets such as crop yields, weather data, market demand and prices.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The MoU is unavailable in the public domain. But according to reports it could potentially give Microsoft access to a database of 5 crore farmers and their land records maintained by the government, with the possibility of more data being added to it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The signing comes closely on the heels of a new project called &amp;lsquo;Agristack&amp;rsquo;, a platform the government says is meant to tackle long-standing agricultural problems such as low use of bank credit and wastage in agricultural supply chains.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Nagpur agritech startup uses data collected from farms across the country to create &amp;lsquo;post harvest solutions&amp;rsquo; for farmers: an online marketplace to connect them with corporate buyers, algorithm modules to help banks extend them credit, and a digitised supply chain intended to improve &amp;lsquo;transparency&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;On April 14 the government signed a memorandum of understanding with Microsoft permitting CropData to work in 100 villages across ten districts in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Gujarat and Andhra.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Union agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar told the press &amp;ldquo;The company will help farmers by building a collaborative platform and capturing agriculture datasets such as crop yields, weather data, market demand and prices.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The MoU is unavailable in the public domain. But according to reports it could potentially give Microsoft access to a database of 5 crore farmers and their land records maintained by the government, with the possibility of more data being added to it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The signing comes closely on the heels of a new project called &amp;lsquo;Agristack&amp;rsquo;, a platform the government says is meant to tackle long-standing agricultural problems such as low use of bank credit and wastage in agricultural supply chains.&lt;/p&gt;

Agri Ministry’s New App Gives Microsoft Access to Millions of Farmers’ Personal Data -Sashwata Saha

-TheCitizen.in ‘The whole process is faceless’ As the managing director of CropData Sachin Suri explained to Microsoft’s news desk last year, the abstract looking artwork behind him is not a painting. “This is actually a spectral analysis satellite image of farms. Each tiny spot, or a geo-spatial tile, is an actual field in Punjab and the different colors denote the stress levels in individual farms.” That frame is the crux of what CropData, a Microsoft partner, and by extension the Union agriculture ministry’s new data aggregation scheme is all about. The Nagpur agritech startup uses data collected from farms across the country to create ‘post harvest solutions’ for farmers: an online marketplace to connect them with corporate buyers, algorithm modules to help banks extend them credit, and a digitised supply chain intended to improve ‘transparency’. On April 14 the government signed a memorandum of understanding with Microsoft permitting CropData to work in 100 villages across ten districts in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Gujarat and Andhra. Union agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar told the press “The company will help farmers by building a collaborative platform and capturing agriculture datasets such as crop yields, weather data, market demand and prices.” The MoU is unavailable in the public domain. But according to reports it could potentially give Microsoft access to a database of 5 crore farmers and their land records maintained by the government, with the possibility of more data being added to it. The signing comes closely on the heels of a new project called ‘Agristack’, a platform the government says is meant to tackle long-standing agricultural problems such as low use of bank credit and wastage in agricultural supply chains.
