Definition
The seasonal crop inspection recorded by the Patwari, who walks the fields and notes, khasra by khasra, what is actually growing and who is cultivating. It is treated as an agricultural statistic and is in fact the closest thing the revenue system has to a running record of possession. It also drives eligibility for crop loss compensation, insurance and agricultural credit, which is why entries are sometimes contested.
The seasonal crop inspection recorded by the Patwari against each khasra.
