Gupta said that under the Centre's Special Assistance to the States for Capital Investment (SASCI) scheme, a digital identity of farmers and a geo-mapped record of agricultural land will be created in Delhi. “It will eliminate discrepancies in schemes such as crop insurance, compensation, minimum support price and subsidies. This system will provide farmers with proper identification, rights and transparency in the overall process,” she added.
