Karnataka Partners with BEL for Tech-Driven Agricultural Advisory

Karnataka Partners with BEL for Tech-Driven Agricultural Advisory

The Karnataka government is teaming up with a tech company, BEL, to help farmers.

They're building a special computer system called a dashboard.

This dashboard will collect and analyze all sorts of information about crops, weather, and government programs.

Then, it will give farmers advice that's tailored just for them.

This will all be available through the 'Raitha Kare Kendra' call centre.

It's like giving farmers a smart assistant!

First, they'll try it out for a year, and if it works, they'll roll it out fully for four more years.

The goal is to make farming easier and more efficient using new technology.
