Blue Print for Viksit Krishi by 2047

Abstract

India’s aspiration to become a developed nation by 2047 depends largely on the transformation of its agriculture sector. Today, farming remains largely labour-intensive and vulnerable to high losses and low input use efficiency, but with mechanisation and automation, it can evolve into a technology-driven, efficient, and globally competitive system. This transformation will extend well beyond tractors and harvesters to include precision agriculture, robotics, post-harvest processing, IoTbased monitoring, and AI-powered decision-making. Over the next two decades, Indian agriculture will progress from basic machine access to intelligent, data-driven automation, optimising the entire farm-to-fork chain. The vision for 2047 is clear: every farmer, regardless of land size, should have timely access to suitable machines supported by intelligent systems that minimise drudgery, boost productivity, reduce losses, and enhance value capture. Alongside the agriculture, agricultural machinery manufacturing sector will also evolve to gain global leadership.
