e-Chasa for Android

Mobile survey application for Odisha fields

e-Chasa is a no-cost Android application created to support field teams conducting land surveys throughout Odisha. The tool enables enumerators to record information about both cultivated and non-cultivated parcels, helping capture ground-level details efficiently during site visits.

What it collects and why it matters

The app focuses on capturing key agricultural attributes such as the varieties of crops planted and the irrigation techniques in use across different plots. This collection of standardized, on-site data gives administrators a clearer picture of cropping patterns and water-management practices across the state.

Core capabilities

• Geotagged, on-site data capture so each record is tied to a location.
• Support for documenting both farmed and fallow/unused land parcels.
• Records crop types and the irrigation systems applied at each plot.
• Exportable datasets for integration with government planning systems.

Intended outcome for policy and productivity

By aggregating field data across districts, e-Chasa helps state authorities design better-targeted agricultural programs and interventions. The information gathered supports more informed decisions to boost farm productivity, promote sustainable water use, and prioritize resources where they are most needed.
