Using drones and AI in farming near Amaravati? That's the future! If this tech can help our farmers predict weather and improve yields, it will be a huge blessing. Gates Foundation has done good work globally, hoping for the best here.

While I appreciate the intent, I hope this isn't just another high-profile visit with little follow-through. We've seen many MoUs signed with big names. The real test is sustainable implementation that reaches the common man, not just demo farms.

Digital health records enabling personalised medicine? That sounds incredibly promising. If executed well, this could revolutionize healthcare access in the state. The focus on diagnostics is also very much needed.

Education, health, and agriculture - the core sectors for any developing economy. Glad to see the Gates Foundation's holistic approach. My only request: please ensure the benefits reach the women and children in villages, who need it most.
