The Maharashtra government has introduced a new system to help farmers complete e-crop sowing registration even in areas with poor internet connectivity and technical issues. Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule told the state assembly that farmers can now take photos of their standing crops offline using their mobile phones, news agency PTI reported.

“The images will automatically upload to the system once the network becomes available,” the minister said, addressing concerns raised by MLA Anil Patil during the Budget Session in the state assembly. This new facility aims to ensure that farmers in remote areas are not left out of the registration process due to connectivity problems.
