While I haven't been a strong supporter of the incumbent Indian government, my recent visit to the bank to withdraw cash highlighted the positive digital transformation taking place in the nation. Carrying a wallet has certainly become a thing of the past for me, but I hadn't realized how deeply digital adoption has penetrated the community. India leads the global pack in the volume of digital transactions, even if not immediately in value. The total digital payment transaction volume increased from 2,071 crore in 2018 to 18,592 crore in 2024 at a CAGR of 44%. During the same period, the value of transactions grew from ₹952 lakh crore to ₹3,658 lakh crore. UPI transactions have grown from 92 crore in 2018 to 13,116 crore in 2024 at a CAGR of 129%. UPI transactions are expected to cross 20,000 crore in 2025. UPI now accounts for 70% of digital payment transactions
Talking on agriculture, About 75% of the Indian population lives in rural areas and about 80% of this population is dependent on agriculture for its livelihood.Agriculture accounts for about 37% of the national income. The development of the rural areas and of agriculture and its allied activities thus becomes vital for the rapid development of the economy as a whole. Agricultural Productivity Even though India occupies the first or second position in the world in several crops in terms of area and production, it's rank in terms of productivity per hectare in the world is 52 for rice, 38 for wheat and much low in several other crops. The productivity of some crops is not only low but also remained stagnant over the years. The yield gap needs to be bridged through an integrated package of technology and agricultural policies to reap the untapped production potential, particularly, in rain-fed and other low productivity areas.
