Rural Empowerment Assistant

In many rural areas, people struggle to get reliable, localized information. Whether it’s figuring out what crops are best to plant, learning about a new government scheme, or finding a job, the lack of accessible resources creates a huge barrier. This project bridges that gap. By offering accurate, personalized information in local languages, the assistant helps people make better decisions, save time, and improve their livelihoods. Key Features: Weather and Crop Guidance: Rural farmers often face challenges in accessing accurate weather forecasts and agricultural advice. The assistant provides real-time weather updates and suggests crops suited to the current conditions, helping farmers make better decisions and reduce risks.
