Digital Supply Chain Transformation via SATHI Portal
The SATHI (Seed Traceability, Authentication and Holistic Inventory) Portal is a landmark digital initiative developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC) in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Government of India. Designed to eliminate spurious seeds, ensure seed quality, and digitize seed inventory nationwide, SATHI establishes a centralized digital trail from breeder seed production down to farmer-level retail sale.
Key Functional Modules of the SATHI Portal
- Breeder & Foundation Seed Indenting: Digitizes university and ICAR seed indents for breeder seed allotment.
- Seed Processing & Tagging: Generates unique digital QR code tags for certified and truthfully labeled seed lots.
- Quality Testing Integration: Direct interface with State Seed Testing Laboratories (STL) for uploading sample test certificates.
- Dealer & Retailer Stock Transfer: Real-time tracking of seed lot movement across state lines and dealer networks.
Workflow for Seed Companies on SATHI
- Company Profile Onboarding: Register seed manufacturing unit details, seed license copy, and processing plant capacity.
- Lot Creation & Sampling: Enter seed plot harvest details, raw seed lot weights, and submit testing requests.
- QR Code Tag Printing: Upon receiving STL quality clearance, print SATHI-compliant 2D QR code tags for seed pouches.
