Farmers urged to use technology to reap profits
Bhimavaram: West Godavari district collector Chadalawada Nagarani advised farmers to use technology in agriculture and get more profits. Participating at a programme organised by the Agriculture department at the Collectorate here on Wednesday, she handed over Rs 3.14 crore to 40 farmer groups in the district for supply of drones at 80% subsidy. Speaking on the occasion, she suggested farmers adopt new technology and use drones extensively. As against the target of 40 drones with 80 percent subsidy for groups under Kisan Drones for the district, 41 drones were allocated beyond the target. She said that 15 drones have already been delivered to the farmers and the subsidy amount has also been deposited in the accounts of the farmers. The remaining drones will also be delivered in the next 15 days. The government is ready to provide as many drones to the farmers as they require on subsidy by July 15. Also, in the year 2024-25, the state government has distributed personal machinery worth Rs 8.99 crore to 709 small and marginal farmers at a subsidy of Rs 3.84 crore.

Microsoft may have a ‘Copilot plan' for US Defence Department
Microsoft is reportedly preparing to develop a separate version of its Copilot AI tool specifically for the Pentagon. This initiative would shape Microsoft's main generative AI offering for the US Defence Department. Copilot is designed to automate various tasks and support human employees by leveraging AI models. Microsoft has already developed several Copilot tools, including Copilot for Microsoft 365, which operates across productivity software such as PowerPoint, Excel, and Word documents. The potential adoption of a Copilot service by the Pentagon would represent a significant gain for Microsoft. The tech giant has invested substantially in developing these new AI offerings and is actively seeking effective monetisation strategies for them. What Microsoft said about developing a new Copilot AI tool for Pentagon 'For DoD environments, Microsoft 365 Copilot is expected to become available no earlier than summer 2025. Work is ongoing to ensure the offering meets the necessary security and compliance standards,' the company stated in a recent blog written for government customers (seen by Business Insider) In a recent all-hands meeting, Microsoft Chief Commercial Officer Judson Althoff mentioned that one of their customers with over 1 million Microsoft 365 licenses is planning to deploy Copilot, according to attendees. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo However, Althoff did not reveal the customer's name, and Microsoft declined to comment. It's important to note that only a handful of organisations have workforces large enough to warrant more than 1 million Copilot seats. The Defence Department fits that profile as it employs about 2.1 million active-duty service members and roughly 770,000 civilians, per a 2023 Government Accountability Office report. Microsoft has also suggested that it will extend Copilot to its Microsoft 365 suite for high-security government customers this year. While Copilot is not yet available on 'GCC-High,' its US government–focused, high-security cloud, a March 31 update confirmed that it will arrive in those environments as early as this summer. 'For organisations in GCC High, Microsoft 365 Copilot remains in development to meet security and compliance requirements. We are planning on a general availability (GA) release this calendar year,' the company explained.
