Abstract:
Indian agriculture has undergone a significant transformation over the past few decades, moving gradually from traditional methods towards the adoption of modern and digital technologies. Traditional agriculture depended on human labor, animal power, and basic irrigation systems. However, the rapid growth of information and communication technologies (ICT), mobile networks, and government initiatives has accelerated the digital shift. Today, tools such as mobile-based advisory services, digital soil health cards, precision farming, satellite mapping, and e-market platforms like e-NAM are helping farmers make better decisions and improve productivity. The Government of India, through policies like the Digital Agriculture Mission (2021–2025), is promoting digital innovation and data-driven farming practices. This paper explores how digital transformation is enhancing the efficiency, transparency, and sustainability of the agricultural sector in India while highlighting the challenges and opportunities ahead.
