This research explores the potential of integrating digital e-learning and AI-driven tools to empower Bangladesh's Imams, Muazzins, and rural farmers. The study investigates how equipping religious leaders with agricultural knowledge and digital skills can improve agricultural productivity, enhance market access, and promote sustainable farming practices in rural communities. This model aims to foster economic resilience, reduce poverty, and promote socio-economic equality in rural Bangladesh by addressing the digital literacy gap. Despite significant barriers such as poor infrastructure, digital illiteracy, and resistance to new technologies, the study identifies several opportunities for scaling this model, including expanding mobile networks, increasing smartphone usage, and partnerships with NGOs, government agencies, and tech companies. The research highlights the role of Imams and Muazzins as potential mentors and advocates for change, bridging the gap between technology and rural communities. The findings suggest that integrating AI tools in agriculture can significantly improve farming practices and enhance economic stability for rural populations.
