Abstract The Government of India is prioritizing the optimal use of advanced technologies to ensure uninterrupted food security and increase the agricultural productivity of farmers. This paper examines the impact of various emerging digital services used by the farming community on agricultural productivity and also studies the impact of digitalization in Indian agriculture. It highlights the applications of various digital technologies for increasing agricultural yield, improving farm level decision making. This is mainly an analytical and exploratory paper based on primary data which has been collected through structured schedules and questionnaires from some districts of eastern Uttar Pradesh. This paper has found that various digital services are being used very little by the farmers in the agricultural fields and there is also little awareness about various information. The paper suggests that policy makers should encourage and focus the use of various digital services in the agricultural sector to increase food productivity so that farming can become digitally oriented.
