To become aware with how various digital tools are used in Indian agriculture and related industries nowadays. The information was gathered from various academic works and earlier research. The present study was confined in Southern Gangetic Zone of Bihar State during the year 2021-22. The present investigation was carried out in Southern Gangetic Zone for the study Two aspirational districts (NITI Ayog, 2018) namely Gaya, Banka and two non-aspirational district namely Patna, Bhagalpur. The findings indicated that the majority of farmers had gained significant knowledge about and were interested about adopting digital technology on their farms. The variables level of education, landholding, participation in extension activities, and scientific orientation were found to have positive and significant relationships with the attitude of farmers towards the use of digital tools, whereas other variables like age, farming experience, social participation, and cosmopoliteness were found to have non-significant relationships with the attitude of farmers towards the use of digital tools. Farmers working in digitalized environments still need a strong background of agricultural basics Government should invest time and money in spreading the word about the advantages of digitization. The importance of digital technologies in agriculture was highlighted in the report. This article discusses the various ways that digital tools can be applied, from crop planning to eventual crop purchases by farmers.
