Digitisation in agriculture - from precision farming to farming 4.0
Automated steering systems, data-driven targeted application of fertilisers and pesticides, field robots and drones, soil analysis sensors, autonomous driving - digitisation is advancing in agriculture as elsewhere. The economic potential is huge - and does not exclude ecological benefits. Digitisation clearly creates the conditions for successful agricultural practices. https://www.biooekonomie-bw.de/en/articles/dossiers/digitisation-in-agriculture-from-precision-farming-to-farming-40/
Top 6 Indian AgriTech Startups That Are Revolutionising Agriculture
Excerpts from keynote speech on “IoT – A Perspective for Agriculture Sector” as presented in the ITC2016 http://techcongress.net/. Indian Technology Congress 2016.
For successful implementation and exploitation of Industrial Revolution 4, we need as an input knowledge about it. A data base of 100,000 thousand articles needs to be created and 100 crore Indian readers have to be encouraged to read some or other relevant articles from the database and act appropriately.
10 crore Indians have to read on average 10 articles/papers on Industry 4.0
In this blog an attempt is being made to create an index for bibliographies on the topic of application of Industry 4.0 in various economic areas.

Make in India and India's Effort to Develop Manufacturing are Feasible. Arvind Panagariya - The Times of India, 14 November 2018
The global market in merchandise exports today is approximately $15 trillion. Share of India in these exports is only 1.6%. China increased its share in exports from 4% in 2000 to 12%. Can't India increase its share to 5%? So there is good opportunity for India to export its manufactured goods.
According to Panagariya, the world has a more liberalised market in goods now as liberalisation has taken place under the Uruguay Round Agreement during 1995 to 2005 and much of it remains intact.

Date of Birth 25 September 1916
Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya (September 25, 1916 - February 11, 1968) was a was one of the most important leaders of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, the party that got transformed into the present day Bharatiya Janata Party.
He was born in the village of Nagla Chandrabhan in Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh. lost his parents during childhood and he was then brought up by his maternal uncle. He matriculated from Sikar. He stood first in the board exam and the then ruler, Maharaja Kalyan Singh of Sikar, presented him with a gold medal, a monthly scholarship of 10 rupees and an additional 250 rupees towards his books, as recognition of his merit. He completed his intermediate at the Birla College in Pilani He graduated in first division from Sanatan Dharma College, Kanpur in 1939 and joined St. John's College, Agra to pursue a master's degree in English literature. He was unable to appear for the final year exam on account of a cousin's illness. His maternal uncle persuaded him to sit for the Provincial Services Exam, which he passed and he was selected after an interview. He chose not to join the Provincial services, as he was fascinated with the idea of working with the common man. Upadhyay, therefore, left for Prayag to pursue a B.T. He earned his B.T. from Prayag, but decided not to enter a job. After completing his education and second-year training in the RSS Education Wing, Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya became a lifelong pracharak of the RSS.
His love for studies increased manifold after he entered public service. His special areas of interest were sociology and philosophy, seeds of which were sown during his student days.
In Sociology, Deen Dayal Upadhyaya advocated sociology of cooperation.
In 1951, when Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee founded the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, Deendayal became the first general secretary of its Uttar Pradesh branch. Then he became all-India general secretary. After Dr. Mookerjee's death in 1953, the entire burden of nurturing the orphaned organisation and building it up as a nation-wide movement fell on the shoulders of Deendayal. For 15 years, he remained the outfit's general secretary and built it up, brick by brick. He raised a band of dedicated workers imbued with idealism and provided the entire ideological framework of the outfit.
Deendayal Upadhyaya was found dead in the early hours of February 11, 1968, while traveling in a train.
A CBI publication states that he was pushed out of the train by two persons who tried to steal his bag at 7 pm on 10 February (http://cbi.nic.in/coffeetable/7.pdf)
25 September 2014 Make in India campaign is being launched across India on the occasion of birthday of Deen Dayal Upadhyay.

My argument is that the policy prescriptions made by Shri Deendayal in his lecture entitled “Economic Structure Suited to National Genius” are logical and can be applied without any great obstacles. No doubt as Shri Deendayal himself points out every economic action based on policy guidelines has to be undertaken based on socio-economic cost benefit analysis. The action has to be based on facts we call data and analysis that tells us that there is economic benefit to the society.
The important points made are:
1. The economic system must help in the development of every human being (who is born ignorant and helpless) into God-like being (Divine being). As we know, each of us start as an infant and become a person like sanyasi who desires less from the people around but does lot for the society. No doubt in the last stages of life, most of the persons may not be able to do anything. That is why people have to start helping others as soon as possible and increase the quantity to the highest level when they have the energy in their body.
2. Economic system of the nation has to be designed to provide all human necessities of the population and goods and services required to protect the nation from aggressors. In addition to these, there has to be objective of helping people of other nations also.
3. Production system has to understand the limitation of the nature and only milk it and leave it in an able state to provide future generations also the resources. The biodiversity in nature that keeps certain desirable properties of the nature in proper quantities has to be understood and preserved.
4. In the production system only a limited number work and they have to provide all the facilities to the remaining population. Children, old people, housewives have to be provided all the facilities required by employed persons. So the system has to recognize that people with ability, work and provide to all. A man works not only for his bread alone, but also to provide for the needs of all others who are dependent on him.
5. Education is compulsory for all children. The economic system has to involve both family members and society to see to it that children are provided with adequate education. Education is a social responsibility along with it being the responsibility of parents.
6. Adequate medical facilities have to be there in the economic system and even free medical treatment has to be provided.
7. Everybody who wants to work must find employment in the economic system.
8. Capital formation has to take place and it will be good if every person can see the capital that is formed due to his effort. When the capital formed due to a person is credited to his account only, he will not feel that he is being exploited by people creating capital. Therefore a system is to be designed that accumulates a certain amount of capital in the account of every person who is working.
9. We have to employ machines to the extent we relieve workers from the burden and increase productivity. Machines should not replace labour and make them unemployed. Buying and installing machines have to be planned in such a way that they do not displace existing workers. New employment must come up with new investment as needed by the society.
10. Seven ‘M’s are to be properly understood and employed optimally in the production system. These are 1. Man 2. Material 3. Money 4. Management 5. Motive power 6. Market and 7. Machine.
11. The ownership of capital can be with the state, individuals or any other entity based on pragmatic or economic analysis.
12. Swadeshi and Decentralization are the two words that characterise the economic system to be designed for India.
Swadeshi means increase or improvement of all parameters of our Swadesh. Some of these parameters are GDP, National Income, Per capita income, literacy rate, life expectancy etc. Decentralization of power of allocating resources is required to ensure effectiveness and also efficiency. According to my studies, India needs to invest Rs. 55 lakh crore in 2016-2017. This means on an average investment of Rs. 10,000 crore has to take place in every parliamentary constituency. Lok Sabha members are the representatives of people interacting with the political executive as well as public administrative service executives. They have to take up the task of facilitating this investment target in the constituency. They have to arrange for interactive sessions with other representatives of people, mayors, municipal chairmen, panchayat presidents, local organizations belonging to agriculture, industry, services, academicians and researchers to identify investment opportunities and set up organizations to increase production of goods and services. There is clear existing opportunity for MPs and MLAs to take initiative and guide development in a decentralized manner in the country. I think, as a part of NITI Ayog budget, each MP is given say Rs. One crore per year to organize development related seminars and publish its proceedings in print, broadcast and online media. Such an activity makes discussion related to development a local issue and people come to know of their role in providing themselves with goods and services through various special organizations and their family production units.
Deendayalji concluded his lecture by saying that we have to revitalize our culture to make it dynamic and in tune with the times (Yuganukul) so that our society is enabled to live a healthy, progressive and purposeful life. We have to produce such institutions as will kindle a spirit of action in us.
Let us turn our attention to analytical imperatives suggested by Deendayalji.
Machine: A machine developed internally or imported must provide economic return. Machines have to be brought only after proper economic analysis that indicates adequate expected profit.
Idle machine is losing proposition to an industrialist. Similarly idle manpower is losing proposition to the society. Full employment of all willing people of the society has to be the primary objective of economic planning and technology choices have to be made with full employment as a constraint. There has to be advance planning for the skills required for the technologies to be implemented. You should not keep your recently acquired machines idle because required skilled manpower is not there. You should not bring foreign technicians.
Availability of raw materials has to be assessed and then only investment decisions are made to optimally utilize available resources.
Capital formation has to be planned. Available capital has to be appropriately allocated to fixed capital and working capital.
Economic energy forms are to be used based on their availability. Energy productivity analysis is to be done and energy input has to be minimized.
We have to educate and develop managers/leaders. If we cannot develop people who can coordinate at least a dozen people, all other resources remain underutilized and we will underperform other nations.
Good understanding of the consumers’ requirements has to be there in the economic system. The economic analysis has to be based on the preferences indicated by the people.
Bharatiya technology has to be developed. Technology suited to optimal utilization of our resources subject to the constraint of full employment of persons with the desire to work is Bharatiya technology. Swadeshi ideal demands that we develop and employ Bharatiya technology.
I feel the policy prescriptions made by the proponents of Ekatma Manav Darshan are practical and productive. We need to apply them in our economic practice at microeconomic level and ask the representatives of people and the politicians in government to implement them in macroeconomic decision making. It is only through writing memorandums and engaging in dialogue process that we can enrich the economic thought based on Ekatma Manav Darshan and also come across difficulties likely to come up during implementation.
New Suggestions for Implementing the 12 Prescriptions
1. The economic system must help in the development of every human being (who is born ignorant and helpless) into God-like being (Divine being). As we know, each of us start as an infant and become a person like sanyasi who desires less from the people around but does lot for the society. No doubt in the last stages of life, most of the persons may not be able to do anything. That is why people have to start helping others as soon as possible and increase the quantity to the highest level when they have the energy in their body.
Suggestion for Implementation
In the society it is to be emphasized that every individual has to take care of self interest as well as social interest. Man is a social animal because he takes care of social interest. As a consumer, every many takes care of self interest as well as social interest. He maximizes a combination of self interest and social interest.
2. Economic system of the nation has to be designed to provide all human necessities of the population and goods and services required to protect the nation from aggressors. In addition to these, there has to be objective of helping people of other nations also.
Suggestion for Implementation
Every year, the GDP of the country is analysed and shortages are identified and actions are initiated to make corrections in the next year.
3. Production system has to understand the limitation of the nature and only milk it and leave it in an able state to provide future generations also the resources. The biodiversity in nature that keeps certain desirable properties of the nature in proper quantities has to be understood and preserved.
Suggestion for Implementation
A measure of the degradation of the nature is developed, measured and reported so that we understand when there significant degradation and take steps to alter production and consumption.
4. In the production system only a limited number work and they have to provide all the facilities to the remaining population. Children, old people, housewives have to be provided all the facilities required by employed persons. So the system has to recognize that people with ability, work and provide to all. A man works not only for his bread alone, but also to provide for the needs of all others who are dependent on him.
Suggestion for Implementation
The salary structures of individuals have to reflect his obligation to his family members and to the society.
5. Education is compulsory for all children. The economic system has to involve both family members and society to see to it that children are provided with adequate education. Education is a social responsibility along with it being the responsibility of parents.
Suggestion for Implementation
Education allowance is specified in the salary structures of people so that as parents they realize the obligation to spend it on their child's education.
6. Adequate medical facilities have to be there in the economic system and even free medical treatment has to be provided.
Suggestion for Implementation
Medical services are given special emphasis in GDP analysis
7. Everybody who wants to work must find employment in the economic system.
8. Capital formation has to take place and it will be good if every person can see the capital that is formed due to his effort. When the capital formed due to a person is credited to his account only, he will not feel that he is being exploited by people creating capital. Therefore a system is to be designed that accumulates a certain amount of capital in the account of every person who is working.
Suggestion for Implementation
Workers can be made financial capital owners through various schemes. Some workers or technicians even today become capital owners by producing some equipment and giving it on rent (hire purchase or lease). Like bonus, we can create capital component in compensation.
9. We have to employ machines to the extent we relieve workers from the burden and increase productivity. Machines should not replace labour and make them unemployed. Buying and installing machines have to be planned in such a way that they do not displace existing workers. New employment must come up with new investment as needed by the society.
Suggestion for Implementation
Allow Industry 4.0 Technology in New Units in Backward Locations
Allow building new plants with Industry 4.0 Technology in backward industrial locations up to a cumulative capacity of 10%
Remove the Idea of Job Losses http://guide-india.blogspot.com/2018/07/allow-industry-40-technology-in-new.html
10. Seven ‘M’s are to be properly understood and employed optimally in the production system. These are 1. Man 2. Material 3. Money 4. Management 5. Motive power 6. Market and 7. Machine.
Suggestion for Implementation
In the economic system, research and education in science, engineering and management of each resource used in the economy has to take place. It is a service in the economy and it has to happen adequately.
11. The ownership of capital can be with the state, individuals or any other entity based on pragmatic or economic analysis.
Suggestion for Implementation
The role of private individuals, state (social action at control institution level), and cooperatives (social productive institutions) has to be recognized and various types of organizations are to be used appropriately. Management models and practices are to be developed for each type of ownership.
12. Swadeshi and Decentralization are the two words that characterise the economic system to be designed for India.
Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya was born on September 25, 1916, in the village of Dhankia in Rajasthan. He lost his father, Bhagwati Prasad, when he was less than three years old and his mother before he was eight. He was then brought up by his maternal uncle. Deendayal was outstanding in his studies and stood first in examinations. He won a number of prizes and scholarships. While he was a student at Sanatan Dharma College, Kanpur he joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (R.S.S.). Although he qualified as a teacher, he did not take to teaching profession. Instead, he dedicated himself to full-time work in RSS from 1942.
Deendayal Upadhyaya was a man of soaring idealism and had a tremendous capacity for organization. He started a montly magazine “Rashtra Dharma”, a weekly ‘Panchajanya’, and a daily ‘Swadesh’. In 1951, when Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee founded the Bhartiya Jana Sangh, Deendayal became the first General Secretary of its U.P. branch. He was also chosen as All India General Secretary. The acumen and meticulousness shown by Deendayal deeply impressed Dr. Mookerjee and elicited his famous remarks “If I had two Dendayals, I could transform the political face of India”.
After Dr. Mookerjee’s death in 1953, the entire burden of nurturing the orphaned organization and building it up as a nation-wide movement fell on the young shoulders of Deendayal. For 15 long years he remained the party’s General Secretary and built it up, brick by brick. He raised a band of dedicated workers imbued with idealism and provided the entire ideological framework of the party. The final triumph of his statesmanship and vision was the historic session of the Party in 1967.
Deendayal was a deep and original thinker. His philosophy of Integral Humanism, which is a synthesis of the material and the spiritual, the individual and the collective, bears eloquent testimony to this. In the field of politics and economics, he was pragmatic and down to earth. He visualized for India a decentralized polity and self-reliant economy with the village as the base. He welcomed modern technology but wanted it to be adapted to suit Indian requirements. Deendayal believed in a constructive approach. He exhorted his followers to co-operate with the Government when it was right and fearlessly oppose when it erred.
He placed the nation’s interests above everything else. Deendayal Upadhyaya was found dead in the early hours of February 1, 1968, while traveling in a train. The rousing call he gave to the thousands of delegates in the Calicut session, still rings in their ears
“We are pledged to the service not of any particular community or section but of the entire nation. Every countryman is blood of our blood and flesh of our flesh. We shall not rest till we are able to give to everyone a sense of pride that they are children of Bharatmata. We shall make Mother India sujala, suphala (overflowing with water and laden with fruits) in the real sense of these words. As Dashapraharana Dharini Durga (Goddess Durga with her ten weapons) she would be able to vanquish evil; as Lakshmi she would be able to disburse prosperity all over and as Saraswati she would dispel the gloom of ignorance and spread the radiance of knowledge all around her. With faith in ultimate victory, let us dedicate ourselves to this task”.
