ANNAM.AI Smart Weather Stations Deployed in Kerala

Key facts

• Kerala has deployed ANNAM.AI smart weather stations in collaboration with IIT Ropar.
• The AI-powered stations provide real-time climate data at a 3 km resolution, tracking solar radiation, soil moisture, wind patterns, humidity, and rainfall.
• 92% of farms in Kerala are less than 1 hectare, and the system helps small farmers optimize resources through localized advisories for sowing, fertilizing, irrigation, and harvesting.
• The deployment is part of a 100-day action plan focused on village-level disaster preparedness and climate monitoring.
• The collected data can inform national-level agricultural intelligence strategies, including crop-specific advisory models and disaster response algorithms.
• Future evaluation will assess system reliability in extreme monsoon conditions and its impact on reducing crop loss and improving net income for farmers.
