Abstract

Agriculture 4.0 signifies the transition from a conventional to a modern approach through the use of artificial intelligence, robotics, or other smart gadgets. The use of technology boosts the efficiency of farmers and enhances their earnings. Considering that both the Union and State Governments are willing to construct digital infrastructure and educate farmers. The first step toward modernizing agriculture is to enhance digital awareness among farmers. This study aims to comprehend the government's digital programs and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) initiatives, farmers' awareness levels, and the limiting factors for the implementation of digital inclusion programs. The research was carried out in the Tumkuru district of Karnataka, and both primary and secondary data were used. The outcomes suggest that the majority of farmers have a basic understanding of ICT tools and are willing to participate in the digitization process.
