LIMS: Agriculture reforms in
LIMS is
the first comprehensive government initiative for the development of the
agricultural sector in the country's history, an official source said. The
main objective of LIMS is to reduce domestic agricultural imports, increase
exports and meet the food needs of the growing population.
Land Information Management
System will also be helpful in enhancing food security of the country. The
establishment of LIMS will provide farmers with simultaneous access to information
on climate change, satellite crop monitoring, water, fertilizer and spray focus
areas and direct access to markets.
Under Land Information Management
System, it will be possible to increase agricultural production by using
modern technology on uninhabited and low-yielding agricultural lands This
revolutionary institute will work on land, crops, weather, water resources and
pest control under one roof.
Proper
use of various resources and reserves, modern technology and irrigation system
will bring such development in agriculture which will meet the shortage of
food in every region of the country. Based on information and analytics, it
will be easier to identify difficulties, obstacles and challenges, find appropriate
solutions and take informed decisions.
Many

Establishment of LIMS is the
first exceptional initiative, aimed at enhancing food security and improving
agri exports thus reducing import burden on national exchequer by transforming
millions of acres of uncultivated/ low yield land within the country. This
state-of-the-art system will help optimise the agricultural production through
innovative technologies and sustainable precision agricultural practices based
on agro-ecological potential of land, while ensuring well being of rural
communities and preservation of environment.
The GIS
based LIMS will greatly improve the national agri yield by systemizing
digitization of agriculture, providing real time information to local farmers
about soil, crops, weather, water resource and pest monitoring through remote
sensing and geospatial technologies as well as minimising the role of middlemen
through efficient marketing system.
