FY 13 FY 17 FY 22
Employment Estimation in Indian Agriculture Sector  The landholding in the agriculture sector is getting smaller with growth
in family members and poor availability of labor. The yield is heavily
dependent on the monsoon
 Percentage of employment in the Indian Agriculture sector has
consistently reduced from 52% in 2010 to 42% in 2018.
 The total requirement of manpower for the Agriculture sector in 2022 is
estimated to be 215.6 Mn. Of this, 173.3 Mn. are expected to be skilled.
The skilled employment is expected to move from the current 65 : 35 to a
80 : 20 mix by 2022.

Employment Estimation in Indian Healthcare Sector
All values are in Million
 The Indian healthcare sector has a immense potential to grow, 60% of
the healthcare professionals are concentrated in the urban region, while
the only 30% is focused on rural region.
 Workforce requirements for the Healthcare sector is expected to grow
from 3.6 Mn. in 2013 to 7.4 Mn. in 2022 which is more than double its
existing workforce to meet the market demand
 The greatest challenge currently is not the numbers available but also
the quality and employability of the workforce

and Healthcare sector in India
1. From a long list of applications,
IOT/AI applications which will
create long term sustainable jobs
were shortlisted
2. Activities involved in
implementing each application
were identified
3. Relevant employment estimation
norms were derived based on
inputs obtained through primary
research with the IoT implementing
& technology companies
4. Relevant universe and realistic
achievements have been estimated
based on published data and inputs
from the stakeholders
5. Maximum and realistic
employment potential have been
estimated using the inputs from
point 3 and point 4
6. Annual salary for each type of job
has been estimated based on
published data on jobs and from

Satellite mapping monitoring uses aerial images for tracking the growth of the crops, this is done through geo-tagging of the farming plots. It is a
process of adding geographical identification marks such as latitude and longitude on the farmer's plot, this can help the user to keep track of the
growth of the crop in that specific plot.
E-markets are virtual markets with physical market at the back end. The electronic market is a system of buyers and sellers and their exchanges
in which the two parties use data and technology to establish and keep up trade and where supply, demand, price and income continue to be the
most significant variables
Livestock Traceability basically have RFID’s tagged to the livestock like cattle, bulls, sheep etc. These RFID’s can track the movement of the
livestock and monitor the health of the cattle. It also helps in easier trading of livestock through online platforms where buyers and sellers can
interact.
Climate Sensing Stations provide protection of soil moisture content and maintaining it at adequate levels, better preparation for adverse
weather conditions by getting information about harsh weathers priory and transmitting it to the farmers and also guiding them to take pre-
emptive measures
Product Traceability is an important factor when it comes to maintaining quality of produce and exporting agriculture products. It helps to
identify which farmer has produced such under-quality crops so that we can reject only his produce and protect the entire lot.
Agriculture Drones are equipped with sensors and cameras are used for imaging, mapping and surveying the farms. Drones can be remotely
controlled or they can fly automatically through software-controlled flight plans.
Smart farming uses agriculture IoT to ensures high accuracy by delivering real time data related to weather forecast, quality of soil, cost of
labour etc. These can be used to do accurate farming

 The above table shows that by adopting various IoT based applications, on a realistic basis,
approx. 2.1 million additional jobs (annual job value of approx. INR 34,000 Cr.) can be
created for Agriculture sector at PAN India level.
 These 2.1 million jobs are likely to be created over next 8 – 10 years horizon (2028 –
2030)
 Pace of job creation likely to increase post 2021 – 22 once 5G has been
implemented
 These applications will bring lot more predictability in farming practices and will help in
improving income and life of the farmers. This will repose the faith of the current
generation on farming activities
 This will not only arrest the decline in the Agriculture jobs but will pave the way for
creation of many IoT based jobs for the Agriculture sector

Remote medical assistance: It will help connect the urban specialty hospitals to the rural primary healthcare. This technology doesn’t require
any doctors to be present in the rural areas. All it needs is a trained paramedical staff or a nurse to diagnose and monitor the patient’s vitals, and
give them appropriate medications.
Smart diagnostics: Some of the major developments here is tele pathology, a technology which helps in diagnosing blood, semen and urine. This
device takes the images of the sample in high resolution microscopes and then use AI and machine learning algorithms to count and identify the
various medical parameters.
Cloud based eye screening: This application used a Digital Healthcare Platforms where all the essential healthcare ecosystem can engage with
each other to deliver the precis output. Having clinical data available in one platform will allow healthcare providers to increase access to care
and improve patient outcomes, while reducing the operational cost
Pre-emptive diagnosis: This uses artificial intelligence which can detect early symptoms using deep learning algorithms. They are more
effective than traditional methods of cancer screening.
Smart Ambulance: This is this the application in which the doctors in the hospital can monitor the patient’s vital health signs while the patient is
being transferred in the ambulance.
Medical record digitalization: This is an online platform where systematized collection of patient data is stored. These data can be accessed
across different healthcare sectors and patient history can be tracked.
Smart consulting: This is an AI Based online consulting software wherein a patient is connected to a doctor in any speciality hospital for
consultation through a smartphone. The doctors can diagnose the patient effectively using the AI technology in the software wherein the patient's
information and medical history is analyzed and reported to doctor
