Digital Kheti: How Data and Technology Could Reshape Indian Farming

New Delhi: A farmer's next big decision may be guided not by instinct alone, but by data on a phone screen. That idea is at the centre of "Digital Kheti: Bharat Dikhayega Raasta" ("Bharat will show the way"), a special session at the Bharat Agriculture Conference 2026 in New Delhi.

The session examines how technology, data and digital platforms can reshape India's farming ecosystem. It looks at the growing role of digital solutions in raising farm productivity and in helping farmers make decisions based on data. It also looks at how these tools can create better opportunities for those who work the land.

What the session covers

• How digital solutions can improve farm productivity.
• How data can support better decisions in the field.
• India's digital initiatives for the farm sector.
• The potential of technology-led farming.

The discussion also considers how innovation can strengthen the wider ecosystem, so that farming becomes more efficient, inclusive and ready for the future.

Policy backdrop

The theme follows a government push towards digital farming. The Centre approved the Digital Agriculture Mission on 2 September 2024 with an outlay of ₹2,817 crore, according to a Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare release cited by Outlook Business.
