PRECISION AGRICULTURE IS PANACEA FOR INDIAN AGRICULTURE SYSTEM. let’s talk about needs first.
Currently, India has to find ways on how it could provide sufficient food to its growing number of people without aggravating the land and water issues.
The Need for Better Yield in Agriculture
• Providing food for 1.7 billion people in 2050
• Needs four times more land, three times more water, six times more manpower
• Food production must be intensified especially with the aim of feeding the world’s increasing population in a sustainable manner.
Precision Farming:
• Offering the appropriate agricultural input in the correct time and location and in the right measure
• Also referred to as precision farming or the four Vs of agriculture; variation, variation, variation.
• Enabling one to provide a better and specific management aimed at some conditions prevailing in a farm field.
Promise and Progress in India:
• Majority of the Indian publications point that it is important that the precision techniques are adopted
• Sprinkler is sometimes termed as drip irrigation method.
TIN 6 • Tamil Nadu Precision Farming Project basically concentrates on the promotion of drip irrigation.
Precision Agriculture brings positive impact on farmers:
This paper focuses on the aspect of technology used in precision agriculture.
Precision agriculture utilizes GPS or GNSS to implement processes that consist of observing, measuring or acting regarding field variability. This helps in making of data based resource management decisions.
Benefits for Small Farms:
Small farms have some potential for enhancing the use of precision technologies such as tractor guidance. This could mean lower input costs and higher revenue, a great possibility of saving on economic and environmental costs. Advantages include lowering of operating personnel stress and greater productivity with extra hours in harsh conditions.
Small scale farmers seem to adopt package technology at a higher rate than the large scale farmers do.
New agricultural technologies have the greatest potential with small farms, which is why there is talk of “big data for small farmers.”
Main Problems and Prospects:
• Substantial volumes for potential but adoption is still quite low and not evenly distributed in India
See less• Requires financial instruments and policies for the expansion of take-up.
• Extensive opportunity for the improvement of productivity and sustainability at the same time.

Credit creation is the process by commercial banks to increase the money supply of a country or monetary region. In most modern economics, most of the money supply is in the form of bank deposits. So credit creation is also known as ‘Deposit Creation.’
Commercial banks create credit by advancing loans and purchasing securities. Banks use public deposits to lend money to businesses or individuals. It doesn’t mean they simply lend the money which they deposit. Banks use a method which is called fractional reserve banking. Where they use a portion of the deposit to provide loans with high interest rates.
Basic concepts of credit creation:-
Now let’s understand the process by the Example:–
Assume, A person deposits Rs.10,000 in Bank ‘A’. As required the banks keep LRR 20% of the deposit of Rs. 2000 and Then Bank ‘A’ lends the remaining amount to Bank ‘B’ (10,000-2,000 = Rs.8,000)
Again, Bank ‘B’ keeps LRR 20% of Rs.8,000 means Rs.1,600 then lends the remaining amount to any business. (8,000- – 1,600 = Rs.6,400)
The money goes on multiplying in this way this process continues till new deposits become nil.
Ultimately, Total money creation = INITIAL DEPOSIT * 1/LRR%
10,000 * 1/20% = Rs. 50,000

Banks provide consumer options like debt fund, equity fund or hybrid fund etc. because of this banks maintains trust of consumers.
Banks used to compare metric (LDR) Loan-to-Deposit Ratio (LDR) to assess the bank’s loans and total depositing and investing. These measures can help to manage the financial health of banks.
