Outline

India is an agro-based economy, and adequate information on agricultural practices is essential for optimal agricultural growth and yield. Based on data from the Kisan Call Center, we built an agricultural chatbot to answer farmers' questions. This system can answer questions about weather, market prices, plant protection, and government initiatives. It's accessible 24/7 on any electronic device and provides information in an easy-to-understand manner. Based on a sentence embedding model, the system initially achieved an accuracy of 56%. After removing synonyms and incorporating entity extraction, the accuracy improved to 86%. This system will enable farmers to access information on agricultural practices more easily and achieve better agricultural yields. This will make call center staff's work easier, and their efforts will be more effectively targeted.
