Title A name given to the resource Cultivating Digital Fields: A Cloud-Centric Blueprint for Stakeholder Engagement in the Indian Agriculture Subject The topic of the resource Cloud computing; E-agriculture; E-governance; ICT in agriculture; Stakeholder engagement Description An account of the resource This paper examines the potential of cloud computing to revolutionize the Indian agricultural sector, government operations, and rural connectivity. It highlights the benefits and challenges associated with cloud computing in agriculture and proposes a structured model to implement it effectively. Cloud computing allows farmers to access real-time information, make informed decisions, and improve access to markets. The paper examines the difficulties and advantages of cloud computing for the government in transitioning to a cloud-based version of itself for its operations. Additionally, it draws attention to specific areas related to the agricultural sector in India and certain applications offered by the government to enhance the consumer experience for stakeholders. The Government of India has demonstrated its commitment to developing technology-driven agriculture through e-NAM, Kisan Suvidha, and Agri-market initiatives. However, some challenges must be addressed to ensure the successful adoption of cloud computing in the agricultural sector. The proposed implementation model outlines the essential stages of the process, including the needs assessment, the selection of cloud providers, the automation of workflow, the modernization of applications, the implementation of security measures, and the implementation of continuous improvement. The model emphasizes the importance of training, feedback mechanisms, and collaboration. Furthermore, the paper underscores the need for a specific feedback system and grievance redress for agricultural cloud applications to enhance user experiences. To reap the full benefits of cloud computing in the Indian agricultural sector, a comprehensive strategy is necessary. This strategy necessitates technology adoption, awareness-raising, education, and stakeholder engagement. Utilizing cloud technologies, the Indian agricultural sector can realize sustainable growth, increased efficiency, and equitable development. This paper emphasizes the importance of cloud computing in transforming the Indian agrarian landscape. The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.
