Tamil Nadu Digitalizes Land Records; Chennai Metro Line Inaugurated
What happened
Narendra Modi inaugurated the Yellow Line of Chennai Metro Rail Limited on October 21. During his visit, he met Anand Vetrivel, founder of FarmWise AI, which specializes in using artificial intelligence and geographical information systems. FarmWise AI subsequently secured a tender from Tamil Nadu to digitize the state's Field Measurement Book and survey records.
Why it matters
The tender allows FarmWise AI to help Tamil Nadu achieve its goal of giving every farm a digital identity.
