Dantewada Under the leadership of Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai, the technical revolution has started in the agriculture sector in the state. The latest Artificial Intelligence (AI) and smart agricultural techniques are now being used in remote areas of the state. Farmers of Dantewada have recently got the benefit of AI-based smart farming system, which are improving better crop production, water management, and fertilizer use. Small and marginal farmers are benefiting the most from this initiative of the government, as they are now able to get higher yield at the minimum cost.
Under the leadership of Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai, major changes are happening in the agriculture sector in the state. This time is proving to be innovation and technological progress, especially for the organic farmers of Dantewada. Now this region is moving beyond traditional farming and moving towards adopting modern techniques like artificial intelligence (AI). This step is not only going to increase agricultural production but is also going to improve the income of farmers. Through AI based models, diseases and pests in crops can be solved on time. The AI -based system will control automatic irrigation depending on soil moisture and weather conditions, which will promote water conservation. Crop production can be accurately estimated based on historical data and soil quality through Yield Prediction AI Model. AI will give better guidance to farmers for crop sale by analyzing the demand and prices of the market .. The use of AI based ‘robots’ in works like sowing, weeding, harvesting and pruning will be helpful in reducing labor costs.
A confluence of organic agriculture and AI technology
Organic agriculture has already been popular in Dantewada, but now AI technology will be used to make it more effective. AI technology will help farmers in weather forecast, soil quality, water resources management and crop safety. Experts said that the health status of crop, soil quality and water requirement can be accurately analyzed through ‘satellite imaging’ and ‘drone AI’ technology. This use of AI technology in Dantewada district will not only increase the income of farmers, but will also help in environmental protection and better use of resources.
Farmers connecting with technology: beginning of a new era
The state government has provided smart sensors, drones, soil testing equipment, and AI-based analysis tools in the agricultural sector .. Using them farmers are getting facilities such as monitoring of crops, precise irrigation, and proper spraying of pesticides. Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai has named this initiative as “Smart Agricultural Mission”. He said, “The farmers of Chhattisgarh are our backbone. Through technology, we can make their hard work easier and increase their income. This new technology has been successfully tested in Dantewada and now it will be implemented in the entire state. “
How is AI based agricultural technology working?
AI-competent agricultural equipment has been distributed in Dantewada with the cooperation of the government. With the help of these equipment, farmers are getting accurate information about the correct crop status, soil moisture, insect outbreak, and climate change.
Drone and smart sensor monitoring of crop
Farmers of Dantewada are now inspecting the condition of their crops through drones. These drones survey the fields with air and provide information about crop health, water needs, and fertilizer levels using AI technology.
Local farmer Ramesh Kashyap says, “Earlier we had to irrigate by guessing, due to which water was wasted. Now smart sensors tell us how much moisture is needed. This has also reduced our costs and production is also increasing. “
Soil testing and AI customized fertilizer tips
To maintain soil fertility, the government has given soil testing kits and AI-based analysis tools. Now farmers can get the soil quality report on their mobile app and according to it can be used in the right amount of fertilizers.
Agriculture scientist Dr. Amit Verma says, “Now with the help of AI, farmers in Dantewada are knowing which nutrients are lacking in their soil. Due to this, crops are getting better nutrition and yields have increased by 30%. ”
AI Chatbot: Digital Assistant of Farmers
The government has also launched AI Chatbot for farmers, which gives them 24 × 7 agriculture related advice. Farmers can now get information about crop cycle, climate forecast, and government schemes on their mobiles.
Agriculture Department official Shiv Shankar Tiwari says, “With the help of this chatbot, farmers are getting the right information on time. With this, they can prepare in advance to avoid the effect of climate change. ”
Government schemes and benefits to farmers Chhattisgarh have implemented several schemes under the ‘Smart Agricultural Mission’:
Smart Drone Services: Drone is being provided to farmers at cheap rates, so that they can take advantage of AI technology in spraying pesticides and fertilizers. Smart irrigation management: IOT sensor -based irrigation system is now getting rid of water crisis problem to farmers. Crunt Helpline and Mobile App: A new agricultural helpline and mobile app have been launched to provide quick assistance to farmers.
The role of the government is taking several steps to make this initiative successful: Technical training – Training programs are being run to make farmers aware of AI technology. Financial assistance – The government is helping farmers to buy necessary equipment and software. Establishment of innovation centers – Many Agritech centers are being set up in Dantewada, where farmers can consult experts. Smart Drone Service: Drone is being provided to farmers at cheap rates, so that they can avail AI technology in spraying pesticides and fertilizers. Irrigation Management: Now farmers are getting rid of the problem of water crisis from the IOT sensor -based irrigation system. Agricultural Helpline and Mobile App: A new agricultural helpline and mobile app have been launched to provide quick assistance to farmers. Possible benefits for farmers increase production – Through AI, crops can be taken care of better, which will increase yields. Reduction in spending – Taking the right decision at the right time will reduce fertilizers, pesticides and water consumption. Easy access to the market – AI based digital platforms can connect farmers directly to the markets, which will give them fair price. Environmental Protection – By connecting organic agriculture with AI, excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides will be reduced. Farmers’ opinion: Change changes with new technology
Local farmer Govind Nag says “Earlier farming was only tradition for us, but now it has become a smart business. Due to new techniques, we are able to produce more at low cost. This initiative of the government is proving to be a boon for us. “
Mamta Devi, a female farmer from Dantewada, says, “We have used drones and smart sensors for the first time. This gives us complete information about the crop situation. This technology is making us self -sufficient. “
NITI Aayog and Central Government appreciate
This move of the state government has also been appreciated by the NITI Aayog and the Central Government. The Deputy Chairman of the NITI Aayog said: “The adoption of AI technology by the Government of Chhattisgarh in agriculture is a revolutionary step. This will increase the productivity of farmers and reduce the effects of climate change. ”
Central Government Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan described this initiative as “an inspirational model” for the whole country and said that soon it will be implemented in other states as well.
Economic and social impact will benefit the economy of Chhattisgarh from this technical initiative:
Farmers’ productivity is expected to increase by 30-40%. New employment opportunities will increase for youth in the agricultural sector, as drone operations, data analysis, and demand for smart farming services will increase. State will also increase agricultural export capacity, which will give Chhattisgarh a new identity in national and international markets.
Use of AI technology in agriculture is beneficial for farmers from every way, but there are some challenges in its implementation, which is also fully ready to face the Sai government of Chhattisgarh. Special training will be necessary to make farmers aware of the complexities of AI, which is also being prepared by government. Organic farmers of Dantewada district will now make farming more productive and efficient using the latest technology in their farming. In the workshop cum training program organized in the District Panchayat Auditorium, farmers and agricultural officials were given detailed information about the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In this workshop, emphasis was laid on the importance of the use of AI technology from crop monitoring to disaster management. Through AI, how can be detected in time of their diseases by monitoring the health and behavior of animals.
It is also being told in the workshop that how AI technology is also effective in better management of water resources, so that farmers can be alerted in time by forecasting disasters like floods and droughts. The availability of internet and digital equipment in rural areas was a major problem which is also being resolved. The cost of AI based equipment can be high, for this, the government is going to provide subsidy and financial assistance.
Under the leadership of Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai, Dantewada organic farmers are adopting new dimensions in the field of agriculture by adopting AI technology. This initiative will not only modernize the agricultural system of the state, but will also increase the income of farmers. If this model is successful, it can be implemented in the entire Chhattisgarh and other states. This will give a new direction to the agricultural sector of India and organic farming will be recognized globally. It has become clear from the success of AI technology in Dantewada that now farming is becoming a smart enterprise, not just tradition. If this model is successful in the entire state, Chhattisgarh can be included in the most technically advanced agricultural states of the country. This initiative will make a significant contribution in the economic strength of the state along with making farmers self-sufficient.
