Mr. Arun Kumar, Communication staff at SEVAI, participated in an orientation session on the use of Artificial Intelligence in communication and technical support for development work. The session was led by Sri. Vidiyal Kukan, the pen name of former District Judge (Retd.) Mr. Ku. Karunanithi, who shared insights on how AI tools can strengthen outreach, documentation, and programme implementation.  

The orientation focused on practical applications of AI to support SEVAI’s core development themes. Special emphasis was placed on using digital communication strategies to promote tree plantation drives and to scale livelihood activities. Examples discussed included mushroom cultivation as a low-investment, high-return option for rural women, and the production of value-added products such as mushroom soup and mushroom cookies to improve nutrition and create additional income streams.  

The session also covered how AI can assist communication staff in content creation, data analysis, and real-time reporting, enabling more effective engagement with communities and stakeholders. The use of AI for planning, monitoring, and showcasing impact in livelihood and environmental programmes was highlighted as a key area for future work.  

The orientation was held in the presence of Shri. K. Govindaraju, Director, SEVAI, Trichy, who underscored the importance of integrating technology with grassroots work to enhance reach and efficiency.  

This capacity-building initiative equips SEVAI’s communication team with new tools to better document field activities, amplify success stories, and support the organization’s efforts in environmental conservation and sustainable livelihood promotion..,*Govin
