Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare
Digital Crop Survey verification with AI voice agents
Sarvam reported reaching more than 400,000 farmers in India's crop-data verification pilot
Problem
The ministry needed to validate plot-level crop records without adding broad field-survey work.
Approach
The ministry piloted Sarvam's multilingual AI voice agents from October 1 to 24, 2025. Telephone calls and WhatsApp follow-ups let farmers confirm or correct crop information. Sarvam said the system identified locations with concentrated mismatches for targeted inspection.
Results
Takeaway
Farmer responses helped identify where field checks were needed. Reach figures do not measure the accuracy of the corrected records.
