Abstract: In the modern era, technology has played an inevitable role. The population of India is almost equivalent to 17.7% of the world population. Based on arable land area, India is the second-largest in the world. Although India is the second-largest producer of rice, the most significant problems faced by farmers in our country are a lack of knowledge about technological development. The number of smartphone users is expected to exceed 800 million by the end of 2022. Under these circumstances, the Internet of Things (IoT) plays a significant role in the agricultural field in terms of productivity by monitoring the daily progress of the field. IoT aims to take internet connectivity to another level by connecting multiple devices simultaneously to the internet, thereby facilitating man-to-machine and machine-to-machine interactions. With the agricultural apps installed on their smartphones, farmers can track the progress of their crops as well as the schemes and subsidies announced by the authorities. This paper highlights the significance of the Internet of Things in the agricultural sector.
