Sustainable agriculture consists of environmental-friendly methods of farming that allow the production of crops or livestock without damage to human or natural systems. It involves preventing adverse effects to soil, water, biodiversity etc. By making maximum use of technology in agriculture, India can achieve significant success in the agricultural sector. For this purpose, the development of agriculture is extremely important within the concept of Developed India promoted by the Government of India. From this perspective, it is necessary to study the agricultural sector through a scientific approach. In agriculture, it is important to examine the interrelationship between factors such as cropping patterns, water availability, land, soil, and climate. A detailed and systematic study of these elements helps in understanding the crop composition and agricultural practices of a particular region. A similar micro-level study has been conducted for Shirur Taluka, focusing on its cropping pattern. The information regarding the cropping pattern in this region is presented as follows. It can take the form of double-cropping, in which a second crop is planted after the first has been harvested, or relay cropping, in which the second crop is started amidst the first crop before it has been harvested. All Twelve types of crop combinations have been identified during2001-2 to 2011-12 for Shirur Tahsil. The villages and area under each crop combination are shown in the table given below. During 2001-12 two crop combination was found in area hectors 3988, and area in 3.93 percent. In 2011-12 2 two crop combination is hectors 6505. The area of three crops combination reduced in 2000-01 (33.15 percent). And 2011-12in which seven villages area in5052 hectors, and 5.22 Present. The area of four crop combination was reduced in 2000-01 (19.39 percent). And 2011-12in which 18 village’s area in 18223 hectors and 18.84 at present it.The twelve crop combination is reduced in 2000-01 (18.47percent). And in 2011-12, it was found in 14 village’s area in 16460 hectors and 17.02 present. Developed India and agricultural practices are closely related. Changes in agricultural practices and the implementation of geographically appropriate measures are essential to increase agricultural production. By using geospatial technologies and their unique applications, it is possible to contribute significantly toward achieving the vision of a developed India by 2047. In an agriculture-dominated country like India, the development of agricultural technology and new research-based knowledge can help in conducting a detailed study of cropping patterns and farming systems. Through the use of advanced geospatial technologies and scientific analysis, it becomes possible to improve agricultural productivity and planning. This will certainly help in fulfilling the dream of a developed India by 2047.
