Director, SAC, ISRO Shri Tapan Misra and Managng Director,
GCMMF, Anand Shri R S Sodhi took an initiative for fodder
crop estimation using satellite remote sensing technology.
GCMMF and ISRO had signed a memorandum of
understanding (MOU) to this effect in 2017. To implement
that project first unique centre for dedicated for dairy
development is opened at AMUL headquarter, Anand. The
centre, “AMUL REMOTE SENSING CENTRE, ANAND” will work
towards estimation of fodder crops in command areas of
AMUL, Anand. This will pave a new era of fodder crop
management using satellite data for current status of fodder
crops grown during one crop cycle like rabi, kharif, and zaid
seasons in a year. Fodder crop estimation would act as a
decision making tool for monitoring national level project like
Accelerated Fodder development Program (AFDP) , National
Livestock Mission (NLM), NDP-phase 1, and other watershed
projects. It can be ustilized in Dairy sector for decision support
in drought management also. Gradually it will be scaled up to
all Milk Unions of GCMMF in India. On season remote sensing
based estimate of fodder crops and monitoring of
mechanized harvesting for silage making will be implemented
in future
