The purpose of this study is to investigate the transformational influence of technological advances in the development of agricultural practises in India, revealing how they might improve production and sustainability. It examines a variety of innovations, including precision farming robots, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR). Agricultural precision maximises resource use while reducing environmental effect. Robotics makes automatic planting, harvesting, and weeding possible, increasing efficiency and decreasing the need for physical labour. The report backs up these ideas with detailed case studies that demonstrate actual effects on the ground. Nevertheless, it also carefully addresses the numerous problems that are impeding mainstream use of these technologies. The study concludes that while digital technologies have the potential to revolutionise agricultural practises, they must be addressed in order to realise their full potential.
