It provides personalised help to farmers based on their recorded data

Odisha government has launched an AI-powered ChatBot, to help farmers access, government schemes, and loan products from more than 40 commercial and cooperative banks. Governor of Odisha, Prof. Ganeshi Lal, launched Ama KrushAI ChatBot service in Bhubaneshwar.

Ama KrushAI’s algorithm has a feature on this knowledge set to effectively resolve farmers’ queries on a wide range. It provides personalised help to farmers based on their recorded data in the Krushak Odisha state farmers’ database as well as their historic digital activity recorded on different agri-gov-tech systems.

The state government is planning to launch Ama KrushAI at scale for all farmers in the state after successful pilots. The department also plans to introduce text-to-speech translation to allow farmers to listen to the answers to their queries in Odia, instead of reading them on the app.

ChatGPT, the chatbot developed by Microsoft-backed OpenAI, is capable of generating human-like replies, allowing natural conversation between the user and the virtual assistant. It reached an estimated 100 million monthly active users in January, becoming the fastest-growing consumer application, and has clocked over 590 million visits.

ICAR-CIFA scientist team conducted breeding and seed production trials of striped Murrel during July and August 2022 at Wyra and produced about 1.5 lakhs Murrel hatchlings.

ICAR-CIFA, Bhubaneswar Demonstrated Murrel Seed Production Technology in Telangana ICAR-CIFA, Bhubaneswar Demonstrated Murrel Seed Production Technology in Telangana. The ICAR – CIFA, and the Department of Fisheries, Government of Telangana established a Murrel Breeding and Seed Production Center at Wyra, Khammam, Telangana. Dr. Rajesh Kumar, Senior Scientist, ICAR-CIFA and his team conducted breeding and seed production trials of striped Murrel during July and August 2022 at Wyra and successfully produced about 1.5 lakhs Murrel hatchlings.

Presently, about 30,000 Murrel fingerlings are produced and the breeding trials is being continued to produce more Murrel seed. Striped Murrel is the state fish of Telangana and it is in very high demand but most of the catch comes from the wild, which has reduced its population in nature. Therefore, the Government of Telangana approached the ICAR- Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture, Bhubaneswar to technically help in breeding and seed production of Striped Murrel in Telangana to boost its farming.

Murrels also known as Snakeheads, is a potential candidate species for aquaculture in Asia, it shows an excellent growth rate and can be cultured at high stocking rates. Its promising nutritional quality, coupled with fewer intramuscular spines, usually brings them good market value (5-7 USD per Kg) in its native regions. In addition to that, striped Murrel is considered a medicinal freshwater fish due to the abundant presence of bioactive components in its flesh like albumin, amino acids (glycine, lysine, arginine), and fatty acid (arachidonic acid 20:4n-6) involved in antinociception, gastroprotection, disease resistance, antioxidant and wound healing process.
