DER’s Doordrishti digital platform and Khetscore, alternate to credit score has helped it to achieve market linkages worth INR 250 million and financial linkages to 18,000+ smallholder farmers (50% new to institutional credit). Khetscore It is a 3-year historical index of land analytics that acts as an alternative to credit score and helpful for credit underwriting. KhetScore is developed using the remote sensing data, artificial intelligence and inhouse algorithm. It accounts into multiple data points such as number of crops taken in the last 3 years, area under cultivation, crop health, crop moisture, crop nutrient status, soil moisture, and mechanical damage as well as meta data such as temperature, rainfall, flood, and drought during those 3 years. It uses indices such as NDVI (Normalised Difference Vegetation Index), GNDVI (Green Normalised Difference Vegetation Index), NDMI (Normalised Difference Moisture Index), NMDI (Normalised Multi-Band Drought Index) and VHVV (Vertical Horizontal Vertical Horizontal) to assess these parameters using multispectral data, hyperspectral data, optical data, microwave radar data, weather data etc. Based on the assessment and the weightages to different parameters, the inhouse algorithm generates KhetScore for the farmers.
