• 22 April 2024

The Union Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Government of India, has introduced an AI Chatbot for the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Scheme, marking a significant stride in enhancing the scheme’s efficiency and reach. Launched by Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Shri Kailash Choudhary, this Chatbot provides farmers with prompt, accurate responses to scheme-related queries. It represents the government’s commitment to using technology for the welfare of farmers and offers a user-friendly platform available in multiple languages. In addition to supporting PM-KISAN, the Chatbot will be extended to other key ministry schemes. The PM-KISAN Scheme itself has disbursed over Rs. 2.61 Lakhs Crores to more than 11 Crore farmers and played a pivotal role in providing income support during the Covid Pandemic. This innovative solution promises to revolutionize the support system for India’s agricultural community.
