Telangana to soon launch agriculture data exchange.
May 11, 2023

An Agriculture Data Exchange (ADEx) platform using artificial intelligence (AI) processes will be set up by the Telangana government soon.
 
The project in collaboration with the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISC), Bengaluru, aims to provide quality and transparent agriculture data easily to give an impetus to research and innovation in the sector.
 
'Whenever we tried to come up with new technology solutions for farmers, researchers and technology companies pointed out the limitations of data availability. This can include large-scale produce, rainfall, water facilities or farmers and demographic information.
 
But data is available on various platforms, ranging from government departments to agricultural and horticulture academic institutions and research centres. We have now decided to make it available on a single platform by gathering data from various agriculture information providers (AIPs),' said Rama Devi Lanka, director of emerging technologies.
 
The difference between a regular dashboard and this massive platform is that data from all AIPs is stored on it. When agriculture information users such as start-ups, individuals and researchers require data, they will approach this algorithm-based platform and sign an agreement. The application will then be routed to the original AIP who will decide whether or not to provide data.
 
Farmer credit/finance, electronic farm records, soil health-based advisory, pest prediction and advisory, and farm equipments are among the data sets being developed, officials said.
 
Jayesh Ranjan, IT and industries principal secretary, told TOI that Telangana government is keen on implementing technological solutions, particularly those based on AI platforms.
 
'The core idea is that whatever innovations we try to promote should benefit the ordinary people by improving their lives and livelihoods. Secondly, we take these new solutions from local tech entrepreneurs and finally, we try to collaborate with academic and other relevant institutions to create an ecosystem for innovations,' he said.
