Role of Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things I Agriculture for Viksit Bharat 2047

Agriculture plays a vital role in India's economic development and food security. However, the agricultural sector faces numerous challenges such as climate change, water scarcity, low productivity, and inefficient resource utilization. Emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) provide innovative solutions to modernize agriculture through precision farming and smart agricultural systems. AI algorithms analyze large volumes of agricultural data collected from IoT sensors, drones, satellites, and weather stations to support intelligent decision-making in irrigation management, pest detection, crop monitoring, and yield prediction. The integration of AI and IoT enables real-time monitoring of soil conditions, environmental parameters, and crop health, thereby improving productivity and reducing operational costs. These technologies can significantly contribute to the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 by promoting sustainable agriculture, increasing farmer income, and ensuring food security. This paper discusses the role of AI and IoT in agriculture, their applications, benefits, challenges, and future potential in achieving technologically advanced agriculture in India.
