“We will launch an indigenous Bharat Krishi satellite for farm-related activities like crop forecasting, pesticide application, irrigation, soil health, and weather forecasting, among others.”
No dedicated indigenous "Bharat Krishi satellite" has been launched. The satellite-based functions described in the pledge (crop forecasting, soil, irrigation and weather monitoring) are currently delivered using existing ISRO satellite data through platforms such as the Krishi Decision Support System (Krishi-DSS, 2024) and the FASAL crop-forecasting project, and via YES-TECH for yield estimation under PMFBY — rather than a purpose-built agriculture satellite. The specific commitment to launch a dedicated Krishi satellite remains unfulfilled. Pending.
We will introduce drones, biosecurity measures and advanced disease-management technologies to strengthen aquaculture and protect the fisheries sector.
We will leverage satellite imagery and communication technology to enhance the safety of our fishermen at sea, providing timely alerts and information.
We will establish Nucleus Breeding Centres and Brood Banks to ensure availability of quality fish seed and broodstock for self-reliance in the fisheries sector.
