Digital Agriculture can be defined as ICT and data ecosystems to support the development and delivery of timely, targeted (localized) information and services to make farming profitable and sustainable (socially, economically and environmentally) while delivering safe, nutritious and affordable food for ALL. Rural connectivity will be a key to providing low cost data and access to information. Digital technology will be key to increasing agriculture productivity by delivering tailored recommendations to farmers based on crop, planting date, variety sown; real time localized observed weather and projected market prices. Mobile phones also enable farmers to integrate into structured markets based on approved grades and standards. The greatest impact of Digital agriculture will have is on democratization of market pricing and compressing transaction costs. Digital agriculture will also leverage social media platforms to build human capacity. One of the best examples originating from India is Digital Green.

Indian agriculture: Mechanization to DigitizationICRISAT
India is characterized by small farm holdings. More than 80% of the land holdings are less than 2 ha (5 acres). About 55% of India’s population is engaged in Agriculture with 40% farm mechanization. Due to non-remunerative nature of farming, more than 50% farmers in India are in debt. This situation has constrained farmers from investing in mechanization and other technologies.

Information Communication Technology and Indian Agricultureijtsrd
Development of technology has opened new opportunities and dimensions for the agriculture sector in India. This technological advancement has enabled the country to shift from a period of traditional subsistence farming to an era of hi commercial farming. India today makes use of technology at every stage of agriculture right from production and processing till marketing. In spite of this, there still remain challenges in its complete adoption by small and marginal farmers which if suitably addressed could lead to the rapid growth of the primary sector in the future years.

This study is aimed to put forward an inclusive and pertinent e-commerce framework that serves as a platform
for the development and improvement of rural agriculture sector in India; which plays a major role towards
socioeconomic development of rural livelihoods along with food security and poverty reduction. The main
approach used was to critically review and understand the National Informatics Centre (NIC) and the Ministry of
Agriculture policies. In general, these policies emphasize on promoting IT based information kiosks, establishing
gyan chaupals (Knowledge centers) in villages, construction of Agri-India knowledge portal. Next, the
challenges and information gaps were identified and translated in the form of agriculture e-commerce framework
which can be used to build an e-commerce application.

Kisan Mobile Advisory Service- An Effective ICT Tool for Technology Dissemina...inventionjournals
The shifting emphasis of Indian agriculture towards diversification, commercialization, sustainability and efficacy has made it necessary for the state extension organizations to critically examine their extension approaches in relation to livelihood of rural masses. It was observed that our population is growing; per capita availability of arable land and irrigation water is shrinking. The frequent suggestion for food import ignores the fact that agriculture is not food producing machine, but is the backbone of the livelihood security system for over 60 per cent population. Development in science and technology in general as well as information and communication technology in particular endorses with ways of facilitating a wide range of communication, information and advisory services in process of technology transformation. Actually extension official are grappling with the question of how best to harness information and communication technology to improve rural livelihood wit sustainability. Sustainability emerges out of shared human resources objectives, knowledge, decision, technology and organization. Kisan Mobile Advisory Services (KMAS), which is a part of the ICT tools is employed by the most of the Krishi Vigyan Kendras in Orissa. In the programme the mobile numbers of progressive farmers, Krishak Sathis (Farmers’ friend), extension officials, and input dealers were registered and grouping is done as per the enterprise/activity basis for facility of filtering purpose. Till April, 2014 about 15000 numbers were registered. The usual messages are being serving twice a week and timely information/advices are communicating as per the need of the situation. From the list of progressive farmers, seventy five farmers were selected for the study with the objective to know their preferences and utility in their field situation. Majority of the farmers opined that time specific advisories are most important followed by weather forecasting and marketing information. The messages on agronomic practices are most suitable followed by management of disease & pests are found to be most suited as per the result. They suggested to serve the message on local language.
The agriculture sector in India plays a pivotal role in the country's economy, providing
livelihoods to millions and ensuring food security for its population. In recent years, the
advent of advanced technologies and the proliferation of data have paved the way for
transformative changes in the agricultural landscape. This Abstract is that the significance of
agriculture analytics in India and its potential to revolutionize farming practices, optimize
resource allocation, and promote sustainable agricultural growth. the application of data
analytics in agriculture has gained momentum as a result of the availability of diverse data
sources, including satellite imagery, weather data, soil composition information, market
trends, and historical yield data.

Abstract
India is agriculture based country having two different conditions of farming and farmers due to natural irregularity now a day.
Here in this project we are going to study the role of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in the development of farmers
in Yawal Taluka in Khandesh region. Different ICTs are available for agriculture sector like SMS, Tele calling, TV, News let ters,
Magazines, call centers etc. After studying this we can conclude whether farmers are using available ICTs or not or whether there
is problem in using these ICTs due to lack of infrastructure and facilities in villages.

This slide based on the Tamil Language important to Agriculture development . It is my own essay if you interest read download and using Bamini Tamil Font.
Agriculture has been and continues to be the most important sector in Indian economy. Climate change is one of the most important environmental issues facing the world today. The impact of climate change is a reality and it cuts across all climates sensitive sectors including the Agriculture sector. In this situation this seminar focuses on the climate smart agriculture. CSA brings together practices, policies and institutions that are not necessarily new but are used in the context of climatic changes which is prime requirement in arena of climate change. Farmers possessed low level of knowledge regarding climate change, and they adopted traditional methods to mitigate the impact of climate change. Small land holdings, poor extension services and non availability of stress tolerant verities were the major problems faced by the farmers in adoption to climate change. Extension functionaries were having medium level awareness about impact of climate change on agriculture. They used electronic media, training and conferences and seminars as major sources of information for climate change. They need training on climate smart agriculture aspects. Based on the above facts this presentation focuses on analyzing the opportunities and challenges of climate smart agriculture.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

95. Conclusion
The world is today facing the pressing challenge of
unsustainable food production and consumption practices.
Today’s food system is the main driver of deforestation and
biodiversity loss and generates a quarter of the greenhouse
gas pollution globally.
In fact, climate change could force over 100 million people
into extreme poverty by 2030, mostly through impacts on
agriculture and food security.
Hence, improving the performance of the food system is
critical if we are to sustainably feed nearly 10 billion people
by 2050 while raising farmer incomes, protecting them from
climate change and helping them to thrive.

96. Rapid population growth, changes in market demands,
depleting agricultural land, and significant changes in
climate patterns, including much more frequent extreme
events — all these factors are pushing agriculture out of
its traditional limits, towards a digital age. This trend is
supported by governments worldwide.
Digital farming technology will be key to increasing
agriculture productivity by delivering tailored
recommendations to farmers based on crop, planting
date, variety sown; real-time localized observed weather
and projected market prices.

97. Smart phones also enable farmers to integrate into
structured markets based on approved grades and
standards. The greatest impact of digital agriculture
will have is on the democratization of market pricing
and compressing transaction costs.
Digital technologies will also leverage social media
platforms to build human capacity. We need to put
our concrete efforts to place an effective framework,
in terms of appropriate policies and programs that
will harness the already well-known potentials of
digital technologies to put India on the higher
pedestal of the’ Second Green Revolution’ by making
Indian rural and agricultural sector self-sufficient.
