A New Chapter in History of Indian Agriculture Unfolds in Telangana!
IT and Industries Minister KTR launched India’s first Agricultural Data Exchange (ADeX) in Hyderabad. Developed as a digital public infrastructure (DPI) for the agriculture sector, ADeX is a collaboration between the Government of Telangana, World Economic Forum, and the Indian Institute of Science. Also, the Minister launched Agriculture Data Management Framework (ADMF) by the Government of Telangana.
ADeX is an open source, open standard and interoperable public good, democratizing access to data and enabling public and private sector to build applications and deliver services to benefit society. ADMF is an agile, forward-looking framework, with the objective of facilitating consent-based responsible data sharing.
“Both ADeX and ADMF provide the right platform to ensure fair and efficient usage of agricultural data by the industry and startups and provide a big boost to the data economy specifically in the agri-sector. These initiatives help Telangana lead the country from the front in using innovation and technology to drive food systems transformation and improve the livelihoods of farmers:” Tweeted By Minister KTR
