Impact of Agricultural Engineering and Technology on India’s Growth Story

Abstract

Agricultural engineering and technology have significantly contributed to India’s growth story by boosting crop yields, improving food security, increasing farmer income, promoting resource efficiency, and enabling economic development, particularly through the Green Revolution, by introducing advanced irrigation systems, high-yielding crop varieties, and mechanization, which reduced manual labor and increased productivity across the agricultural sector; this has been crucial in transforming India from a food-deficient to a food-surplus nation.
