Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is playing a significant role in transforming agriculture and fisheries in India. ICT tools help farmers and fishers access timely information on weather forecasting, market prices, pest and disease management, precision farming, irrigation scheduling, and government welfare schemes. The Government of India is promoting the digital empowerment of farmers and fishers through various ICT initiatives such as the Digital Agriculture Mission, Agri-Stack, e-NAM, National Pest Surveillance System (NPSS), India Digital Ecosystem of Agriculture (IDEA), Meghdoot App, Kisan Suvidha App, National Digital Fisheries Platform (NDFP) and the Matsya Setu App. ICT platforms developed by organizations such as the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services, and National Fisheries Development Board are improving scientific decision-making, technology dissemination, market access, and rural livelihoods. These ICT-based initiatives support climate-resilient agriculture, smart aquaculture, digital extension services, and efficient natural resource management in India.
