Neeraja Adidam IFS FOREWORDJoint Secretary, RKVY
Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) was launched in 2007 with an objective of
ensuring holistic development of Agriculture and its allied sectors. The scheme provides
autonomy and flexibility t0 states for planning and execution of projects as per the local
specific needs and to fill up the gaps in agriculture and allied sector development.
RKVY is an umbrella scheme, covering several sectors such as agriculture,
horticulture, animal husbandry, dairy, fisheries, soils and nutrient management, Marketing
and post harvest management etc. Till date about 13329 projects were sanctioned during XI
and XII five year plans, of which pertains to creation of infrastructure and assets spread
across all over the country.
The RKVY division of DAC&FW has held series of discussions with NRSC/ISRO
scientists towards development of web page on ISRO’s Bhuvan Geo-portal for Geo-tagging
of RKVY assets created across country. NRSC in turn has developed a smart phone based
app. for geo-tagging of RKVY assets and visualization of such assets on ISRO Bhuvan-RKVY
web portal .
Satellite Remote sensing in conjunction with geo-spatial information systems has
potential in bringing the quantifiable accessibility of the assets generated in the project and
ISRO-Bhuvan portal could play significant role in this regard. The Approach involves direct
geo-tagging of the assets created under each project funded by RKVY for each state.
I hope that this technical manual of mobile app helps the RKVY officials/field staff to ge-teg
the assets across all the states in a user friendly manner

FOREWORD
Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) has been the flagship scheme
of Department of Agriculture, Co-operation & Farmers Welfare (DAC&FW)
for achieving and sustaining the desired growth rate of agriculture and allied
sectors in the country.
Geo-tagging of the assets created under the RKVY project, helps
DAC & FW of Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare (MOA&FW) to
develop a geospatial database at national and state level. Bhuvan portal
would facilitate in hosting the data and analytics to support Ministry and
farming community in assessing the assets in place and identifying the gaps
if any. Based on the gap analysis, future planning of newer assets can also
be realized more scientifically using wide variety of datasets and tools
available with Bhuvan.
This manual describes the Bhuvan RKVY app methodology to geo-
tag the RKVY assets on Bhuvan-RKVY web portal. Web portal contains
administrator and data provider modules that helps to visualize and
generate reports of assets at different administrative units.
I am confident that this manual will be of immense use to the officials
of RKVY Project at Central and State level for better governance.

1 Introduction
Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) is essentially a State Plan Scheme that seeks
to provide the States and Territories of India with the autonomy to draw up plans for
increased public investment in Agriculture by incorporating information on local
requirements, geographical/climatic conditions, available natural resources/
technology and cropping patterns so as to significantly increase the productivity of
Agriculture and its allied sectors. Apart from providing autonomy and flexibility to the
states, the scheme also aims at maximising returns to farmers in agriculture and
allied sectors. The scheme covers various sectors of agriculture, horticulture, animal
husbandry, dairy, fisheries, soils and nutrient management etc., The schemes allow
flexibility to states to take up projects in three streams - production oriented,
infrastructure building and flexi activities. .
The Department of Agriculture, Co-operation and Farmer’s Welfare in consultation
with the erstwhile Planning Commission, has accorded the approval of the RKVY
scheme, to be known as NADP (RKVY) under which amongst others, various assets
created with the assistance from DAC&FW.
With the advent of satellite data products on 1:10,000 scale (LISS-IV+Cartosat
merged products), the role of remote sensing technology in NRM projects is greatly
enhanced coupled with Android based mobile app. for ground truth collection, which
in turn used for interpretation of large volumes of satellite data. Department of Space
had demonstrated the application of geospatial technologies viz., Remote sensing,
GPS and GIS in NRM through projects like IWMP watershed project, National
Agricultural Technology Project (NATP), Integrated Mission for Sustainable
Development (IMSD) etc..
The Asset Building activity consists of creation of various assets like nurseries,
tissue culture labs, cold storage facilities, infrastructure for sorting, grading, vermin
compost units, soil conservation activities, irrigation facilities, labs for production of
bio control agents, soil testing labs, pesticide testing labs, fertiliser quality control
labs, bio-fertiliser setting units, centres for machinery etc., that would help farmers in
4
enhancing the production. Similarly under animal husbandry stream, farmers are
supported in scientific management of animal husbandry including cattle,
sheep/goats and fisheries through creation of several assets such as vaccine
production units and diagnosis labs , dispensaries, milk collection centres and
infrastructure, fish production units, cold storage etc. The scheme also takes care of
post harvesting and marketing necessities of farmers through support to asset
building activities such as electronic trading including spot and future markets,
godowns, e-auctioning etc., The scheme also supports research activities that have
practical applicability and helps the farmers in enhancing production and thereby
income of the farmers. Now, as per the circular issued by RKVY division, states
could be taking up infrastructure building projects on large scale.
1.1 Background of the project
Department of Agriculture and Cooperation and Farmers Welfare (DAC&FW),
Ministry of Agriculture, GOI has implemented Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana
(RKVY), as a special Additional Central Assistance (ACA) Scheme .
Project started from FY 2007-2008 covering 5768 projects in categories of
agriculture and allied sectors, viz., Horticulture, Natural resources
management, Agriculture mechanization, Marketing and Post-harvest
management , Animal husbandry, Dairy development, Fisheries and
Extension activities etc.,
RKVY has been the flagship scheme of DAC&FW for achieving and
sustaining the desired growth rate of agriculture and allied sectors in the
country during 11th and 12th Five Year plan periods.
Till date over 12000 projects have been sanctioned by the states under RKVY
scheme, of which large number pertains to creation of infrastructure and
assets.
Geo-tagging is the process of adding geographical identification like latitude
and longitude to a photo or video. Geo-tagging can help users find a wide
variety of location-specific information from a device. It provides the users the
location of the content of a given picture. Accordingly, RKVY is interested in
geo-tagging of various assets created from the funds given to agriculture and
allied sectors in different states.
