What exactly is New-Age agriculture?
It addresses concerns such as climate change, water shortage, land scarcity, and a growing population. Crop productivity per field is increased using New – Age agriculture. It encourages people to use more current technology. It restricts the amount of water used. It creates crops that are resistant to the effects of climate change. It also contains improved seeds, agriculture machinery, and other items. It makes use of end sensors to deliver information about soil, ambient, and crop conditions.
What do future-ready cities entail?
By 2030, the United Nations estimates that over five billion people will live in cities. Cities also make up only 3% of the total land area on the planet. However, they account for 60 to 80 percent of total energy use. Cities that are future-ready are those that are equipped to confront these challenges. Such cities urge its residents to build upwards. They advocate for a move to electric power in order to cut carbon emissions. They also promote underground construction, as well as climate-resilient activities and building.
Concerning the strategy
The initiative will help India celebrate its 100th year of freedom. It will set goals that must be met within 25 years. It will begin by freeing up India’s overseas defence acquisitions. It will enable India to become self-sufficient. It entails reorganizing the public sector banks. Three to four large banks are to be merged as part of the plan. Its goal is to create semi-conductor compounds. The government’s processes will be overhauled. It will end the government’s intrusion into citizens’ life that is currently taking place.
The objective is to construct ten scientific and technology labs. The goal is to transform India into a global hub for skill development. Its goal is to create at least ten Indian institutions and place them among the world’s top hundred. The SGoS has been tasked with conducting a gap analysis between the public and private sectors.
