Doordarshan Kisan is going to launch two AI anchors: AI Krish and AI Bhoomi. One special thing about these anchors is that they can speak fifty Indian and foreign languages.

DD Kisan is the only TV channel in the country, which has been established by the Government of India and is dedicated to the farmers. This channel was established on 26 May 2015.

The objective of establishing DD Kisan channel, the government statement said, was to always keep the farmers informed about the changes in weather, global and local markets, etc. so that they could make appropriate plans in advance and make the right decisions on time. DD Kisan Channel has been meeting these standards for the last nine years.

DD Kisan channel is also working to bring forward the efforts of progressive farming to all the people, to serve the agricultural and rural community in the country, and work towards creating an environment of holistic development by educating them.

DD Kisan channel is strengthening the three-dimensional concept of agriculture which includes balanced farming, animal husbandry and plantation, the statement said.
