Uma Lele, Sambuddha Goswami · 2017 · Agricultural Economics

Summary. India's Digital India initiative deploys networked digital solutions to boost agricultural productivity and rural welfare across 156 million households. The paper identifies three major barriers: delivering location-specific, farmer-friendly agricultural content; building digital literacy so farmers can effectively use apps; and measuring actual adoption and impact. Success requires complementary investments in physical, human, and institutional capital alongside ongoing policy reforms.
