Enhancing Rural Livelihood through Artificial Intelligence (IoT) based Climate resilient Agriculture (Rabi-Vegetable) in Kokrajhar District of Assam under Farm Sector Promotion Fund (FSPF) of NABARD, ASSAM-RO, Guwahati.
Background:
Assam’s economy is heavily reliant on agriculture, with the sector contributing significantly to the state’s Gross Domestic Product and providing livelihoods for a large portion of the population. The state’s agricultural landscape is characterized by a mix of traditional practices and modern advancements, with a focus on both food crops and cash crops like vegetable. In Assam there are particularly Paddy cultivation is the most prominent agricultural activity which occupying a large portion of the cropped area. Besides rice, other important crops include oilseeds, and vegetables. So Agriculture provides employment and livelihood support to a substantial percentage of the state’s population, particularly in rural areas.
IoT is crucial in agriculture because it enables precision farming, optimizes resource use, enhances crop and livestock monitoring, and improves overall efficiency and sustainability. By connecting various farm components to the internet, IoT provides real-time data and insights that empower farmers to make informed decisions, leading to increased productivity and reduced costs.
The project AI in agriculture in Assam will offer solutions for increased productivity, resource optimization, and sustainable farming practices, ultimately boosting farmer livelihoods and contributing to the state’s economic growth. By leveraging AI-powered tools, farmers can make data-driven decisions, improve crop yields, and minimize risks associated with weather variability and pest infestations.
Details of Proposal:
The Climate resilient and climate smart project proposes KDG (Krishi Dev Gyan) to bring transparency and efficiency in the operations by adopting a data driven approach, supported by the IoT based platform. BOSUNDHARA proposes a unique data driven and End-to-End traceable Agricultural value chain solution platform to the TGs associated with NABARD to empower them by enabling self-reliance in terms of shareholder management, business management, market place linkages and future ready offering to scale up major deliverables of the project, which are as follows:
Rationality of the Project:
