The Indian government has launched a major initiative aimed at digitizing the agricultural sector with a significant investment of ₹14,000 crore. One of the key components is the Digital Agriculture Mission, receiving ₹2,817 crore to incorporate digital tools and data-driven practices in farming. This will not only improve productivity but also increase transparency and market access for farmers.

Additionally, climate-resilient farming practices are being promoted through new schemes to ensure sustainable agriculture, helping farmers adapt to changing climate conditions. The focus on green practices will enhance long-term food security and reduce environmental impact​.

India also saw a 2.2% increase in kharif crop sowing in 2024, now covering over 1,092 lakh hectares, indicating strong agricultural growth​.

This combination of digital transformation and climate awareness positions India’s agricultural sector for sustainable growth in the coming years.
