In a bid to reduce the disputes in compensation distribution under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana and Bhavantar Bharpayee Yojana in the State, Haryana Government has developed an online system.
“The State Government has developed a system for online submission of information on the crops sown by farmers on ‘Fasal-e-Soochna’ web link and verification by patwaris for the purposes of e-Girdawari,” said Revenue and Disaster Management Minister, Capt. Abhimanyu. He said that the system will eliminate the chances of error, bring more accuracy, ensure physical presence of surveyor in the field, and reduce the disputes in compensation distribution.
Capt Abhimanyu said that the farmer, land owner or cultivator, just after sowing the crop, would on his own or through nearby Common Services Center (CSC) or Atal Sewa Kendra (ASK), login to the e-DISHA portal, extract details of land from the Web HAlRIS system, and enter details of the crops sown, on provisional basis, along with details of the land owner.
He will also submit details or copy of this RoR, Aadhaar Card, copy of one bank account and mobile number. Farmers would not have to pay any service charge to village level entrepreneur (VlE) for this data entry. The CSC or ASK would be paid Rs 5 per Khewat entry by the State Government, the Minister said.
Capt Abhimanyu also said, at the time of Khasra Girdawari, the Halqa Patwari would visit every field and record his inputs. In case of vacant khasra or land, the patwari would enter vacant.
In case the farmer’s entry is found to be incorrect, the patwari would verify and accept. In case of mismatch, the patwari would select not agree option, and record his own report in the girdawari in case of e-girdawari. In other cases, the data would be given to patwari and he would take the data into account while recording girdawari, he said.
He further said that the Revenue Department has sent the case to the Finance Department to make a provision of Rs 100 lakh for reimbursement to CSC-SPV (VlEs of ASK/CSCs) for data entry.
The Minister said the software application would be released in public domain and to the CSCs and ASKs for implementation. Training would be imparted to the VlEs and ASKs through IT professionals at each district DITS and NIC-DICs. The software application would be hosted under https://edisha.gov.in web portal and simultaneously, its third party audit certification would be got done through ISMO Haryana, he said.
The IEC activities, advertisements and media campaigns would be executed for the application by the Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Department, in consultation with the Revenue and Disaster Management Department, he added.
