Cuttack: In a bid to ensure transparency in paddy procurement, the state government is mulling introduction of iris recognition for farmers while selling the harvest at paddy procurement centres.
According to sources, all paddy procurement centres (mandis) will be provided with iris scanners by the beginning of this kharif procurement season.
“Farmers will be enrolled for the iris-scanning wherein the central server will store pictures of their unique iris. A farmer visiting the paddy procurement centre needs to stand in front of the scanner and have his/her eye photographed. The system would then quickly process the image and extract the required data after comparing the image with the ones stored in the server’s database,” said a source.
