AI in agriculture often gets discussed in terms of tools and innovation. But at its core, the real question is, can it make a meaningful difference to farmers, especially those at the margins? As Shri Budithi Rajsekhar IAS (Retd), Ex-Officio Special Chief Secretary (Agriculture & Cooperation), Government of Andhra Pradesh shares, the motivation is simple: to ensure that AI and technology genuinely improve the lives of small and marginal farmers who form nearly 90% of Andhra Pradesh’s farming community. That means building systems that don’t just showcase technology, but deliver timely, reliable and hyperlocal support where it matters most, at the last mile. #indiaaiimpactsummit2026
