"AI in agriculture will significantly enhance farm productivity - CM Bhajan Lal Sharma"

Jaipur, June 27

Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma on Friday emphasised that the state government is committed to transforming Rajasthan into a $350 billion economy through sustained reforms and the adoption of cutting-edge technologies across key sectors like agriculture, infrastructure, education, and industry.

Addressing a meeting at the Chief Minister’s residence which was focused on agricultural reforms, multi-modal logistics development, and employment-oriented training, CM Sharma said the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in agriculture will significantly enhance farm productivity.

He added that state-of-the-art skill training will empower the youth, and an investment-friendly ecosystem will transform Rajasthan’s industrial landscape.

The Chief Minister highlighted that the Centre of Excellence for Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture, announced in the state budget, will play a crucial role in solving sectoral challenges through modern technology.

He directed officials to expand skill training in agriculture, ensuring both qualitative growth in farming and employment generation for the youth.

Sharma stated that Rajasthan offers vast opportunities for investors, supported by the government’s proactive measures like the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit, new industry-friendly policies, and the effective implementation of a Single Window Clearance System.

In line with it, the Rajasthan Logistics Policy 2025 has been introduced to reduce logistics costs and improve industrial connectivity.

He added that the 2025-26 budget includes a provision for developing logistics parks linked to the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), which will elevate Rajasthan’s logistics capabilities to a new level.

Sharma reiterated his government's commitment to making the youth "future-ready and industry-ready" through world-class skill training. He instructed officials to take all necessary steps to enhance the quality and reach of vocational training.

During the meeting, presentations were made on the proposed AI-based Centre of Excellence in Agriculture, Polytechnic Skill Development Centers, and the development of Multi-Modal Logistics Parks.

Senior officials and public representatives from relevant departments were present at the event.

Finally some forward thinking for Rajasthan's farmers! AI can be a game-changer for water management in our arid state. But implementation is key - hope they don't just make another fancy office in Jaipur while farmers in Barmer continue to struggle. 🤞

As someone from a farming family in Udaipur, I'm cautiously optimistic. Technology is good but most of our farmers don't even have smartphones. Government should first focus on digital literacy before jumping to AI solutions.

The logistics policy sounds promising! Rajasthan's geographic position makes it ideal to become India's warehousing hub. DMIC connectivity + AI in agriculture could really put our state on the national economic map. Jai Rajasthan! 🇮🇳

All these big words about AI and investment summits...but what about the basic problems? First fix the electricity situation in villages, improve road connectivity, then talk about high-tech solutions. Otherwise it's just another jumla.

The skill development focus is much needed. Rajasthan's youth migration problem can be solved if we create local tech-enabled jobs. Hope they partner with good institutes like IIT Jodhpur for the AI agriculture center.

Good vision but execution matters. Previous governments also made big announcements about industrial corridors. Hope this time they deliver actual projects on ground. Farmers need practical solutions, not just PowerPoint presentations in CM residence.
