Digital Divide & Agricultural Sector in Indian Context—An Overview

Agriculture Informatics is dedicated in development in Agricultural sector using technology. Like industrial revolution digital technologies are changing the systems and building an advanced, smarter as well as environmental friendly agricultural system. In regard to, technological, and tools related concern it is noted that there are huge disparities in Agricultural technological services due to Digital Divide. Effective farm management possible with Agriculture 4.0 systems. Various digitalization, automation systems like artificial intelligence, robotics, big data and analytics, Internet of Things, cloud computing and virtualization, augmented reality, HCI, usability engineering and so on are being used in many pre-production and post production of agricultural systems. Agriculture become an industry now, and transforming also day by day rapidly. This transformation in agriculture system is highly depends on state-of-art technology. Technological systems availability, support and systems are not same in all the countries and regions globally or nationally. This paper is a theoretical and conceptual work dedicated in finding about the Digital Divide with reference to its basics and features, to gather the gap of the digital systems in agricultural sectors in Indian context.
