(MENAFN- KNN India) New Delhi, Jul 11 (KNN) Google is strengthening its commitment to India's agriculture sector by expanding AI-driven tools to support farmers in their local languages.

The tech giant has announced a series of initiatives to enhance accessibility and productivity across rural regions.

Through its AI models, Google is now offering agricultural advice in nine Indian languages, including Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, and Tamil.

This move aims to bridge the information gap for millions of farmers who rely on regional dialects for communication and decision-making.

One of the key offerings includes weather forecasts and crop advisories powered by Google's advanced AI tools. These updates are being integrated into Google Search and YouTube, enabling farmers to receive timely information about sowing, irrigation, and pest management.

Google is also working with agri-tech startups and research institutions to improve the accuracy and reach of these solutions.

In partnership with the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and Wadhwani AI, Google is developing foundational AI models trained on agricultural data such as soil conditions and satellite images. This will allow for better prediction of crop yields and pest outbreaks.

Additionally, Google Cloud's AI services are being used by local governments and organizations to modernize agricultural workflows and data systems.

The company emphasized that AI should benefit everyone, especially those in underserved communities. By making AI tools available in regional languages and collaborating with on-ground partners, Google aims to democratize access to farming knowledge and boost rural livelihoods.

These efforts align with Google's broader goal of using AI to solve real-world problems and promote inclusive growth in India's digital economy.
