Artificial Intelligence for Success in Agriculture- Ram Nath Kovind

Speaking at the 13th edition of CII Agro Tech India-2018 in Chandigarh, President Kovind said, "Reinforcing what the Narendra Modi-led government has been propagating in their tenure, a "strong bond" was crucial between agriculture and technology." In previous decades, manufacturing and mechanization have been of appreciable utility to agriculture. Today a strong relationship is emerging between agriculture and the services sector." BIOTECHNOLOGY, NANOTECHNOLOGY, DATA SCIENCE, REMOTE-SENSING IMAGING, AUTONOMOUS AERIAL AND GROUND VEHICLES, AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE HOLD THE KEY TO GENERATING MORE VALUE FOR AGRICULTURE. The National Institution for Transforming India (NITI Aayog) had unveiled a discussion paper earlier this year which addressed the national strategy on artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies in India.
