The application called Geo-Goviya has been introduced under the program implemented by the Department of Agrarian Development to introduce new technology for agriculture in Sri Lanka.

Accordingly, this application contains the knowledge required for agriculture by the farmers as well as the information about the services provided by the Department of Agrarian Development.

In addition, the Department of Agrarian Development has started accurate mapping of all paddy lands in Sri Lanka using the Geo-Goviya application. Accordingly, the amount of paddy land that has been completed by that department with this application is 1.91 million hectares. Also 1.38 million farmers have registered through this application.

The Geo-Goviya app has accurately measured the paddy lands so that the actual amount of land held by the farmers can be accurately recorded and the amount of land mentioned in the deeds often appears to be inconsistent with the available land.

However, due to this, in providing compensation for crop damage as well as in providing fertilizer subsidies and other assistance, the subsidies were arranged for the amount of land confirmed by the Geo-Goviya application.

Thus, due to Geo-Goviya, the Department of Agrarian Development has been able to save Rs.573 million to the government last year.

A discussion on the application of Geo-Goviya and the upcoming development programs of the Department of Agrarian Development was held at the Ministry of Agriculture, where the officials of the Department of Agricultural Development disclosed this.

The Minister of Agriculture and Plantation Industry, Mr. Mahinda Amaraweera, who expressed his opinion, expressed his gratitude to the Department of Agrarian for the fact that the Department of Agrarian Developments is successfully carrying out many tasks that should be done by the Department of Agriculture.
