The Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare in India is using advanced AI technologies to enhance farming productivity.
Key initiatives include the ‘Kisan e-Mitra‘ AI chatbot for farmer queries, and a National Pest Surveillance System developed with private sector collaboration.
A recent tripartite MoU involving the National Farmers’ Welfare Programme, IndiaAI, and Wadhwani Foundation aims to further AI applications in agriculture, focusing on advisories, crop monitoring, and yield prediction. This is part of India’s broader effort to lead in AI-driven digital agriculture.
