Overview

Agriculture is pivotal to India's economy, covering a vast 328.7 million hectares, employing 54.6% of the population, and contributing a significant 17.4% to the GDP. The government is actively digitizing the agriculture sector through the "India go vocal on making it local and digital" initiative. These initiatives encompass multiple aspects, including enhancing farming practices, improving nutrition among citizens, ensuring food security, increasing exports, monitoring the health of agricultural land and crops, and promoting sustainable cultivation like organic farming and expanding research and infrastructure while preserving soil nutrients and much more. Also, the approach is to digitally connect ecosystem, fosters sustainability, drives economic growth, and paves the way for a self-sustaining agricultural economy.
