"One farmer dies by suicide every 41 minutes in India."
Most of these tragedies are caused by sudden, unexpected crop failures. Current tools are often too late, unreliable, or require smartphones/literacy — leaving small farmers helpless.
Build an AI system that stops farmer suicides before they happen, using an ultra-accessible Telegram bot that works even on 2G networks. A single blurry photo or simple message can trigger life-saving help.
Diagnoses pests, soil issues, and drought stress from low-resolution images sent by farmers.
- ✅ Works with blurred/poor-quality photos
- ✅ Uses Roboflow API and TensorFlow (trained on low-res crop samples)
- ✅ Suggests instant, actionable fixes
Monitors group chats for signs of suicidal intent, distress language, or emotional breakdown.
- ✅ Uses TextBlob for sentiment analysis + rule-based keyword filtering
- ✅ Flags high-risk messages automatically
- ✅ Sends alerts to NGOs or support teams after human review
Predicts crop collapse zones 90 days in advance using environmental trends.
- ✅ Combines soil data, pesticide usage, and OpenWeatherMap forecasts
- ✅ Rule-based early warning system
- ✅ Enables proactive outreach and area-wide prevention
- 👨🌾 Farmers send a photo or message to our Telegram bot (works over 2G)
- 🤖 Our AI Engine activates:
- Crop Autopsy AI → Image Diagnosis
- Distress Signal AI → Mental Health Flagging
- Future Vision AI → Forecast Collapse Zones
- 📩 Farmers receive tailored advice, and high-risk cases alert NGOs instantly
