Question

UnlockIAS · Accepted Answer

Correct — B, Leveraging technology like satellite imagery and drone data to facilitate informed decision-making in agriculture. UNNATI — 'UNified Network for Agriculture Technology Initiative,' also called the Agri-GIS project — is a Madhya Pradesh government initiative under the Farmer Welfare and Agriculture Development Department that uses remote-sensing and Geo-ICT tools (satellite imagery, drone data, GIS and GPS) for crop and land monitoring, yield estimation and evidence-based agricultural planning across the state.

Why the other options are wrong — (a) Not UNNATI's purpose — UNNATI is a remote-sensing/GIS data platform, not a device-subsidy scheme.  (c) Unrelated — UNNATI is about geospatial, technology-based agricultural monitoring, not crop biotechnology policy.  (d) Confuses UNNATI (a GIS/remote-sensing data project) with agricultural education infrastructure, a separate domain.

Concept: UNNATI ('UNified Network for Agriculture Technology Initiative'), also known as the Agri-GIS project, is Madhya Pradesh's state-wide platform combining satellite imagery, drone-based data, and GIS/GPS tools to support the state's Farmer Welfare and Agriculture Development Department. It supports uses such as crop-area estimation, yield assessment, and faster, more objective crop-insurance claim settlement.
