Decent attempt. Intro is good, few words could be written about the inefficiencies in Indian agriculture which agri-tech aims to solve.
Next two parts i.e. adoption and benefits could be integrated.. Points written in adoption could be used as examples for benefits, that will leave you with more scope to talk about other points. Points that you have mentioned are good.
You can add some points such as how agri-tech can be used to predict erratic weather, reduce impact of seasonality, better price discovery and market linkages due to online platforms,farm mechanization etc
In challenges, also mention some basic ones – lack of training and awareness among farmers, fragmented landholdings which don’t invite attention of agri-tech startups, underfunding in R&D, lack of financial power of farmers etc
Similarly, in way forward you could write few lines on addressing the above deficiencies.
Try to use flowcharts, hub-spoke diagrams in some parts of the answer to include more content.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Good attempt. You have mentioned some important points, presentation is also decent.
Introduction is fine, few words could be written about the inefficiencies in Indian agriculture which agri-tech aims to solve.
Next part is good, examples are mentioned too. Use of tech in farm mechanization, thus reducing cheap labour could be added.
Challenges are also fine, financial aspect can be talked about- underfunding of R &D by govt, lack of access to finance for small and marginal farmers etc
Conclusion is decent, flowcharts, hub-spoke diagrams to tackle some parts of the answer can be used.
Keep practicing. 🙂

You have diverted a bit in the answer, this is a 10 marker so you should come to the point directly, plus there is a lot of content about agri-tech.
In intro, define agri-tech(use of technological tools like AI, ML etc in agriculture) and move on. Next, there is no need to write such an elaborate section on problems of Indian agriculture. You could mention few words in intro itself saying these are the issues that agri-tech intends to solve.
In next part, again elaborate explanation is not required for each point, just mention the utility along with examples such as soil health cards, swamitva scheme, kisan drones, farm mechanization, gm crops, vertical farming/aquaponics, precision agriculture, e-NAM etc to enrich your answer.
After that you could mention few challenges for agri-tech and conclude.
Keep practicing. Read a bit more about the topic. 🙂
Thank you for your valuable suggestion. Will work on it

Hello
Introduction is fine.
Points in the body are also good, examples are fine. Some points like digitisation of land records(SWAMITVA scheme), use of Kisan drones, innovative farming techniques such as vertical farming, aquaponics etc could be mentioned too.
In next part, mention few of the challenges in adoption of agri-tech to make the answer holistic.
Lack of awareness and training among farmers, digital divide, low number of startups, fragmented landholdings, underfunding of R &D by govt, lack of access to finance for small and marginal farmers etc- some of these points could be mentioned.
Conclusion is decent, few words on way forward could be added.
Try to use innovative ways such as flowcharts, hub-spoke diagram to include more content and cover all dimensions in the answer, for example, here you could just draw a circle for challenges and draw 5 arrows mentioning few issues.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Decent attempt. Introduction is good.
Use of table in such a manner is innovative. Points mentioned are good, examples have also been mentioned, kisan drones could also be talked about.
However, next, mention few of the challenges in adoption of agri-tech to make the answer holistic.
Lack of awareness and training among farmers, digital divide, low number of startups, fragmented landholdings, underfunding of R &D by govt, lack of access to finance for small and marginal farmers etc- some of these points could be mentioned.
Conclusion is fine, some suggestions to increase adoption of agri-tech could be incorporated.
Keep practicing. 🙂
