Farmers will get the benefit of new technology from Digital Agri Mission, said Union agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Tuesday. 

While speaking at the India International Science Festival, Tomar said that science and technology are developing rapidly and this sector is one of the priorities for the Centre.

Tomar said that science has a great impact on our lives. Today its utility can be felt all over the world including in our country. 

"India also has the ability to achieve a position in today's competitive world, but to reach there and be able to go ahead, we should know the scientific importance of even the smallest thing. Only then we will be able to go ahead in the world competition," the minister added.

Tomar said that today no field is untouched by science and technology. In the agriculture sector too, due to technology, work has become easier, losses are being reduced and time is being saved. The use of drone technology is being made accessible to farmers. 

He said that farmers will get huge benefits through Digital Agriculture Mission. Based on the way research is being done in the agriculture sector, we can say that in the coming days, India will increase its production and productivity by using technology, he added.

"Along with fulfilling the country’s needs, we will also be successful in discharging our responsibilities toward the world,"Tomar added.
