Abstract
As we know, agriculture is part of India’s primary sector. According to a report, 18.3% of GDP is achieved through the agriculture sector. According to another report, India is the top cultivator of millets, with an area of 15.48 million hectares under cultivation and the top producer of sugar. Rice cultivation is being done in around 10% of overall agricultural land in India. Despite these results, 20% of the population is being poor, and 15% are food insecure. Nowadays, most farmers struggle to farm effectively due to a lack of rainfall. Eventhough agriculture is a primary sector of India; it consumes more water to produce food. Global warming is one of the threatening aspects which will cause el-nilo kind of environmental hazard to the world. So, we are in the place of finding effective ways to reduce water consumption. It is not possible to provide a sufficient amount of water to every corner of a large area of agricultural land. It will require lots of human power to sprinkle water across the land. It might lead to uneven sprinkles, which cause damage to the crop and loss to the producer. So, in order to overcome this issue, the current paper proposed a smart irrigation system, which leads to effective usage of water, resulting in quality crops and higher production of food.
