Nationwide Weather Intelligence Network
New Delhi – March 26 – IIT Ropar’s Annam.ai, a Centre of Excellence in artificial intelligence for agriculture, has deployed 100 advanced weather stations in Punjab. The initiative aims to develop a scalable weather intelligence network for India.These AI-based weather stations, provided free of charge, will deliver hyperlocal, real-time weather data to farmers. This data will enable farmers to make precise decisions regarding sowing, irrigation, and crop protection.
“Designed as a model for nationwide expansion, this initiative aims to reduce climate-related risks and improve farm productivity,” IIT Ropar stated.
ANNAM.AI is building scalable agricultural AI intelligence technologies designed to make data-driven farming accessible across the country.
