ArXi:2510.18355v2 Announce Type: replace In Bangladesh, many farmers still struggle to access timely, expert-level agricultural guidance. This paper presents KrishokBondhu, a voice-enabled, call-centre-integrated advisory platform built on a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework for Bengali-speaking farmers. The system combines agricultural handbooks, extension manuals, and NGO publications, processes them through an OCR-based pipeline, and indexes the curated content in a vector database for semantic retrieval.
