Artificial Intelligence-powered weather forecasts in Telangana helped small farmers save up to USD 560 by adjusting their farming practices, according to the World Bank’s World Development Report 2026. The report urges developing nations to adopt low-cost AI tools to boost productivity, improve governance, and enhance social programs.
BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao said the World Bank's classification of Telangana among India's top five upper-middle-income States vindicates the BRS government's economic policies. He credited the State's people and former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao for the achievement.
