Another initiative undertaken in this study is use of smartphone based App for CCEs data collection.

The timely and accurate yield assessments are essential for settling insurance claims of  the  farmers  on  account  of  crop  damage.    The  smartphone  based  Android  App can  be used  for  improving  transparency,  accountability  and  timeliness  for  getting  data  of  CCEs, thereby facilitating timely settlement of claims of farmers under crop insurance scheme.  The satellite data can also be used for crop damage assessment (at least at qualitative level), which is essential for implementation of crop insurance programme.
