# Telenor Launches Pakistan’s First AI-Powered Agri Bot ‘Kissan Dost Bashir’

**Islamabad (TDI):** Telenor Pakistan, through its digital agriculture platform Khushaal Watan, has introduced Kissan Dost Bashir, the country’s first AI-powered voice-based agricultural assistant. The initiative represents a significant step toward providing farmers with accessible, real-time digital guidance.

The service is available around the clock by dialing 7272 or visiting 7272.pk. It offers farmers up-to-date market prices, weather-informed crop recommendations, and livestock-related guidance. The goal is to help farmers adopt more efficient and sustainable agricultural practices while improving productivity and income opportunities.

Pakistan’s agriculture sector contributes nearly 23 percent to the national GDP and remains a vital source of livelihood for millions across rural communities. Recognizing the need for accessible and intelligent digital support, Kissan Dost Bashir delivers conversational advisory services in Urdu, ensuring farmers, particularly those facing literacy and connectivity challenges, can easily access critical agricultural information.

Commenting on the launch, Ahsan Maykan, Chief Marketing Officer, Telenor Pakistan, said, “Pakistan’s farmers are at the heart of our economy, and technology has the potential to transform their productivity and resilience. With Kissan Dost Bashir, we are introducing Pakistan’s first AI-powered conversational agriculture assistant designed specifically for rural communities. By combining voice, AI, and real-time insights, we aim to make agricultural advisory more accessible, inclusive, and impactful, empowering farmers to make smarter decisions and strengthen their economic growth.”
