Through initiatives such as the Digital Crop Survey, Digital Agri Farm Registry, and the i-Khedut portal, we are building a seamless ecosystem that integrates technology across every stage of farming. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">These tools, he added, are enabling farmers to tackle crop diseases, boost yields and adopt next-generation inputs while making farming more cost-efficient.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">NITI Aayog CEO B.V.R. Subrahmanyam stressed, No two farmers in India are the same, and technology must reflect that diversity. The real impact of frontier technologies will come from how well we customise solutions&mdash;whether for a smallholder or a commercial cultivator; a farmer growing staples or a horticulturist. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">This roadmap rightly emphasises differentiated strategies for aspiring, transitioning, and advanced farmers. If we design with empathy and deploy with precision, technology can truly transform livelihoods, making agriculture more resilient, inclusive, and future-ready. he added.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">Developed with support from BCG, Google and CII, the roadmap aims to strengthen rural prosperity, bolster Indias competitiveness in agri-tech and contribute to the ambitious vision of a developed Viksit Bharat by 2047.</span></p> <p><em><strong><span style="font-size:14px">(KNN Bureau)</span></strong></em></p> 43974 https://knnindia.co.in/news/newsdetails/sectors/niti-aayog-moots-tech-driven-agriculture-roadmap-to-boost-productivity-sustainability-farmer-incomes 2025-11-03 17:31:31 knnindia.co.in
