One Raspberry Pi 5 in the village does everything: pulls data, runs models, sends messages. No cloud, no laptop, no office.

Eleven Scheduled Jobs
Each night the Pi fetches weather and satellite data, runs four models, and sends advisories by 06:00 IST. Scheduled jobs handle the full sequence.
database
05 / Local Storage
SQLite + DuckDB
Daily records go into a local SQLite database on the Pi. Heavier queries run on DuckDB. Nothing leaves the device by default.

WhatsApp + Photos Back
Farmers get a short Hindi advisory on WhatsApp at 06:00 IST via Twilio. They can reply with a photo; a vision model on the Pi diagnoses it. Validated photos earn a small UPI payout via Razorpay.
