Abstract
In the context of the Indian economy, the agriculture sector plays a pivotal role in providing livelihoods for a significant portion of the population. However, the sector faces several challenges, including dependence on the monsoon season for water, inadequate groundwater resources in certain areas, and a lack of crop-specific soil health knowledge. To address these challenges and provide comprehensive support to farmers, the government could establish a government-to-citizen (G2C) application that focuses on crop-specific water availability and soil health. The percentage contribution achieved through the proposed method defined in this chapter would vary depending on factors such as the adoption rate of the application, the accuracy of the data sources, and the effectiveness of the recommendations provided. However, it is plausible to expect a substantial positive impact on agricultural productivity, potentially leading to an increase in crop yields by a certain percentage.
