Realising the need for quicker disposal of applications related to
export/import of agricultural commodities and pesticides registration, a
more coordinated integration with external systems and stakeholders,
and to bring in greater transparency in the existing online system, the
Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare (DAFW) on Monday launched
two redeveloped online portals.
The Plant Quarantine
Management System (PQMS) is an improved version of Plant Quarantine
Information System (PQIS) while the Computerised Registration of
Pesticides is now redeveloped as Comprehensive Registration of
Pesticides (CROP), both catering to Indian exporters and importers of
agriculture commodities and Indian pesticide industry.
The PQMS
portal will provide a transparent system with no physical touch points
for the applicants and ensure convenience to the users, through an
online system including e-payments and uploading of documents, online
accreditation and renewal of treatment agencies/facilities and
downloading of certificates.
Similarly, the re-developed CROP
portal will immensely help in ease of doing business and provide greater
and timely Crop protection solutions to farmers of the country.
"The
PQMS has scalability and enhanced data storage facilities. It has live
integration with DGFT, Customs and Bharat Kosh for e-payments for
speedy, transparent and efficient delivery of services," said a
scientist from the Ministry.
"With improved technology use, the
PQMS also has security features with digital signatures, QR codes and a
provision for periodic security audits. Apart from the range of services
offered, this will also provide MIS reports and real time dashboards,"
she said.
The portals with these benefits were launched by Union
Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Minister Narendra Singh Tomar at the
Pusa Campus this afternoon.
"The two redeveloped portals have
been launched keeping in mind Prime Minister's vision for the
agriculture sector. These would help in taking forward digital
agriculture and ease of doing business," he said.
Union Minister
of State for Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Kailash Chaudhary said
that the Prime Minister's emphasis on technology will lead to further
development of the agriculture sector.
