MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE (SHRI KANTI LAL BHURIA)
(a) & (b): Yes, Sir. The simulation models have been developed and validated for few
locations in the country to estimate the crops yields based on certain input parameters, viz.,
weather, crops, irrigation and soils. The success of these models would depend upon the
availability of location specific input parameters on crops and soil etc.
