One question can change what a farmer chooses to grow.
For Dipali Kalbhor, there were many:
What was she spending too much on?
What could her soil grow?
Which mandi had the best prices?
She found answers through MahaVISTAAR, an AI-powered agricultural platform that provides farm-specific guidance in Marathi through calls and voice chats.
The impact was tangible:
Lower fertiliser costs.
Savings invested in beekeeping.
10,000+ mulberry saplings grown.
