Navigating digital divide in agriculture
Even as mobile phones and communication apps saturate the Indian landscape, a significant gap endures in delivering essential agricultural knowledge to farmers. Farmers still face challenges in accessing timely and relevant information due to language barriers, limited digital literacy, and the lack of platforms catering to their needs.
With a focus on voice-based, multilingual AI solutions, KissanAI aims to bridge the gap and ensure accessibility for farmers irrespective of their literacy levels.
Breaking language barriers
Agriculture plays an important part in the livelihoods of many, yet farmers continue to grapple with the challenge of access to timely and reliable information due to language barriers and limited digital literacy. KissanAI’s innovative approach centers around an app accessible to all farmers. Harnessing the power of Azure, it delivers realtime advice on farming-related topics, leveraging Azure OpenAI, Cognitive, and Speech services. The platform is successful and its impact has spread organically, reaching over 100,000 farmers solely through word-of-mouth.
Community engagement
Farmers actively reach out to appreciate the service and offer suggestions for product enhancements, indicating a high level of engagement and satisfaction. Beyond being an information conduit, KissanAI is a catalyst for economic transformation and sustainable agricultural practices. One farmer accessed the latest research on converting crop waste into valuable products enabling him to move from being a traditional farmer into an agripreneur. KissanAI has enabled farmers to access cutting-edge research, and is a driving force for positive change in agriculture.
