innovation in agriculture
The state government has also appealed to the farmers to continuously adopt innovation in the agriculture sector regarding the inclusion of agricultural technology. These efforts of the state government to provide state-of-the-art resources to the farmers and to develop the agriculture sector have also been appreciated by the Government of India. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot presented the state’s first agriculture budget in the year 2022-23 with the slogan ‘prosperous farmer-prosperous Rajasthan’. In the budget announcement, 11 missions were announced for the effective implementation of the schemes of agriculture and related sectors. The state government has developed the Rajkisan Saathi portal to give direct benefits of government schemes to the farmers. Principal Government Secretary, Agriculture and Horticulture, Dinesh Kumar said that the use of artificial intelligence and drones for agricultural work is increasing all over the world in order to give farmers more profit from low-cost farming.
Many advantages of drone technology
Agriculture Commissioner Kanaram has said that spraying with drones saves up to 70-80 percent of water as compared to conventional spraying. Deficiency of nutrients in the standing crop can be easily determined and supplied through drones. The Agriculture Commissioner said that drones are useful in better performance of works like irrigation monitoring, crop health monitoring, soil analysis, crop damage assessment and locust control along with chemical spraying.
