In this article we are going to discuss some of the technological innovations that are transforming Indian agriculture. Crop stress detection, disease identification, and monitoring are just a few of the answers provided by the technology for the agricultural business. Hyperspectral imaging will assist fuel the global precision farming market with enhanced technical developments and better use of the technology.

According to the Central Statistics Office, the contribution of agricultural products/agriculture and allied industries in the country’s GDP has decreased from 51.9 percent in 1950–51 to 13.7 percent in 2012–13, according to Minister of State for Agriculture Tariq Anwar.
