Scaling Up the Yield Estimation System Based on Technology (Yes-Tech)

Effective agricultural risk management relies on accurate crop loss estimation, typically done through crop cutting experiments (CCEs), which are resource-intensive and cumbersome. The new approach of ‘Yield Estimation System based on Technology (YES-TECH)’ is being pushed as an alternative as part of the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY)

Starting kharif 2023, Madhya Pradesh has taken the lead by adopting it for select crops such as soybean, and allocated 100 per cent weightage to it compared to CCEs. But there have been reports in the media about dissatisfaction among farmers.

We invite you to a webinar to discuss this in the backdrop of a new assessment report released by Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) -- Implementation of Yield Estimation System based on Technology (YES-TECH) in Madhya Pradesh: Learnings from select districts towards improved claim settlement against crop losses as part of Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY)

As its title suggests, the webinar will focus on the challenges that YES-TECH implementation faces, and explore the possibilities for scaling up this approach – in the light of experiences from Madhya Pradesh.
