Advantages of using Satellite Data:

• The satellite data with demographic and financial details provides strong information on the land asset of the farmers.
• Usage of this technology will help farmers with existing credit to expand their eligibility and help new-to-credit farmers to get better access to formal credit.
• It is also expected to cut the time of providing credit, as land verification with the help of satellite data is done in a non-contact manner, and credit assessments are made within a few days as against the industrial practice of up to 15 days.
