Abstract Agriculture sector in India is a primary source of livelihood for a majority of the population. Low and stagnant income in the sector remains a focal point of policy debate in India. The most prominent pathways to enhance farmers’ income is the adoption of improved agricultural innovations. This study documents the current state of agriculture innovations in India. The literature reveals that adoption of improved technologies is the key to increase agricultural productivity and farmers' income (Matushcke et al. 2007; Subramanian and Qaim 2009; Duflo et al. 2011; Mason and Smale 2013; Kumar et al. 2020). Despite a very strong impact on the well-being of farmers, the adoption of improved technologies is low, especially in the context of developing regions and countries.
