NDVI in Maharashtra
A REGIONAL CASE STUDY
To truly understand how powerful NDVI is, let's look at a real-world example: agriculture in Maharashtra. By analyzing satellite data from different seasons, we can see how NDVI values reveal the secrets of crop health and highlight problems like drought and extreme weather. This shows how a simple number can tell a complete story about a region's crops.
Satellite Imagery in Maharashtra
Year: 2025
- Replaced traditional field surveys with satellite-based crop assessments.
- Standardized NDVI for damage evaluation across the state.
Crop Area Allocation
% of Cultivable Land under Different Crop Categories
- Maharashtra is the second largest producer of oilseeds like soybean (28.14%) in the country.
- While food grains dominate in area, cash crops and oilseeds contribute more to the state's economy.
Haryana Story
- NDVI and NDWI helped resolve insurance disputes in Bhiwani district, Haryana.
- Satellite-based verification provided independent, reliable estimates.
- NDVI is integrated into Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, India's crop insurance program.
Uttar Pradesh Story
Year: 2022
- NDVI was used to assess drought vulnerability
- Boosting crop performance
(Rice, Wheat, Cotton, Sugarcane, etc.)
for Paddy, Wheat & Mustard
