Our Assessment

medium

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.
