Abstract	The adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) in agriculture is transforming farming practices across India, especially in rural regions. Smart farming systems powered by IoT leverage real-time data from soil sensors, weather monitoring stations, automated irrigation systems, and AI-driven crop surveillance to boost efficiency and sustainability. This study examines the effects of IoT implementation in rural Indian agriculture, contrasting conventional farming techniques with technology-driven approaches. It emphasizes key advantages such as precision farming, optimized resource utilization, cost reduction, and environmental sustainability. However, widespread adoption faces challenges, including high initial investment, limited connectivity, lack of technical knowledge, and affordability issues for small-scale farmers. The role of government initiatives and private sector participation is crucial in expanding IoT adoption in Indian agriculture. The study concludes with recommendations for cost-effective IoT implementation, policy enhancements, and collaborative efforts between public and private sectors to promote a sustainable, technology-driven future for farming in India.
