AI will prove to be a milestone for the agricultural sector


At present, there is a special focus towards the agriculture sector by the central government. That is why the importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in agriculture was discussed during the two-day Annual Technology Conference of National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) in Gurugram. Veterans of the technology sector said that new steps are being constantly taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the welfare of farmers. In order to meet the target of doubling the income of farmers by 2022, the emphasis is now on using modern technology in farming. In such a situation, much is being done to change the fate of the farmers and the picture of agriculture in the country through technologies like Artificial Intelligence.



Artificial intelligence techniques can prove to be profitable farming for farmers. This will reduce the cost of crops and increase the income of farmers. According to agricultural scientists, artificial intelligence technology will be helpful in protecting crops from pest damage. Through this technology, weather can be accurately predicted, which farmers can take advantage of. Farmers will get information about seeds, minty, fertilizers, pesticides and irrigation in advance. A forecast of two months can be made through AI. AI and robotics are playing an important role in our daily lives. HP managing director Som Satsangi says that technology is constantly changing. Financially, it is working to improve life day by day.

Director of IBM Research Gargi Dasgupta said that AI is going to play a big role in improving the interest of farmers in agriculture sector. Today 80 percent of enterprises are moving towards AI data. What is Artificial Intelligence

John McCarthy used the term Artificial Intelligence (AI) in 1955. He is also called its father. Artificial intelligence means an intellectual ability developed in an artificial way. Through this, computer systems or robotic systems are created, based on the same logic on which the human brain works. Its greatest quality is to think and behave like humans. Understanding facts and giving feedback on logic and ideas.



Artificial intelligence is playing a special role in every area of ​​our lives. Today its role in agriculture is increasing. This technology is also being used by the central government for the agricultural sector. This will prove to be a milestone in increasing the income of farmers, agricultural production and quality of crops.


Artificial Intelligence: In the coming time, drones will monitor the health of crops, plowing with GPS controlled tractors


In the coming time, the health of crops can be monitored through smart drones and plowing of fields with GPS controlled automatic tractors. Also, when and how much pesticides, fertilizers are to be used in the fields and information on how to improve the soil, farmers can be easily available at the right time. All this will be possible with the use of artificial intelligence and other related technologies.

In the coming time, the health of crops can be monitored through smart drones and plowing of fields with GPS controlled automatic tractors. Also, when and how much pesticides, fertilizers are to be used in the fields and information on how to improve the soil, farmers can be easily available at the right time. All this will be possible with the use of artificial intelligence and other related technologies. NITI Aayog in its discussion paper on 'National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence' has said that the use of artificial intelligence will increase efficiency at all levels of farming and will also increase the income of farmers along with productivity of crops.



It has been that under this technology, through 'image recognition' and 'deep learning model', 'soil health' can be found by taking pictures of the fields and other data and farmers can take necessary steps to improve it. Huh. For this, laboratory testing infrastructure will not be required.

Apart from this, AI technology can be used for sowing, pesticide control, raw material as per requirement. Also, AI tools can provide accurate data of demand and supply to farmers based on data from e-NAM (Electronic National Agriculture Market), agmarket and soil health sample etc. This will eliminate middlemen and better information will increase the income of the farmers, while farming will be reliable.

In this 115-page discussion paper, the Commission has decided to emphasize on the use of artificial intelligence in the fields of education, health, smart cities, smart vehicles and transportation besides agriculture. He says that the use of this far-reaching technology in the education sector will increase the reach and quality of teaching-training.

According to the commission, quality health facilities will reach people in the health sector, while providing efficient and better connectivity in smart cities and infrastructure will help.

According to the commission, however, there are some challenges in the way of use of artificial intelligence (AI). This includes privacy and security issues, including lack of broad-based expertise in the use and research of AI, lack of access to improved data, high resource costs and lack of awareness for the use of AI, lack of formal regulations regarding data confidentiality, and Lack of collaborative approach towards adoption of AI is included.

The discussion paper proposes a two-tier framework to give impetus to research in the field of AI in the country. First, 'Center of Research Excellence' (CORE) to develop a better understanding of current core research and advance technology and secondly 'International Centers of Transformational AI' with the responsibility of advancing and using 'application' based research. (ICTAI) formed.



It has been said about employment as technology will bring a wide change in the nature of employment. In such a situation, emphasis has been laid on providing skills to the workforce in a timely manner. According to the changing needs in the job market, it will be necessary to provide skills to the existing workforce and to prepare talent for the future.

It has also been said in the discussion paper that new employment opportunities will also be created in areas like data analysis. There will be so much employment created in these areas which can consume those who lost jobs due to automation. The discussion paper also states that given the potential of the information technology sector in the country, India can become a major country in the field of AI and provide this technology to 40 percent of the world (emerging and developing countries).
