India is the seventh biggest country in geographical area and the second most populated country after China. To feed the ever-growing population of India after Independence, the green revolution played a tremendous role, leaving behind some harmful effects on the environment due to over usage of chemical fertilizers and plant protection chemicals which eventually declined the soil fertility necessitating the adoption of eco-friendly farming methods like organic farming, natural farming to restore the environmental health and provide food security of the nation. With these new techniques taking care of every aspect of the crop is difficult which can be made easy by the emerging digital agriculture tools such as Precision farming, IoT, Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, etc. These tools make farming easy and interesting at the same time facilitating easy and continuous monitoring, irrigation water management, weather forecasting, pest and disease identification and spraying operations. The Present study focused on the genesis of digital agriculture in India, contributions by the government, the application of public-private partnerships in digitalization, some important digital tools, and the scope of digitalized agriculture in India by giving some successful examples.
