To overcome language barriers
and enhance digital inclusivity,
the Government of India launched
BHASHINI, an AI-powered language
translation platform that enables
real-time speech-to-text and text-
to-speech conversion in multiple
Indian languages. This initiative
is helping millions access digital
content in their native languages,
bridging the digital divide and
empowering rural populations with information in their mother
tongue.
Kisan e-Mitra

Kisan e-Mitra is an AI-powered
chatbot developed to assist farmers
with responses to the queries about
the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme.
This solution supports multiple
languages and is evolving to assist
with other government programs.
The Indian government is also
harnessing AI to enhance agricultural

productivity through initiatives like
the National Pest Surveillance System, which tackles crop losses due
to climate change. This system utilizes AI and Machine Learning to
detect pest infestations and crop issues, enabling timely intervention
for healthier yields.
