Abstract - Agriculture has long been the backbone of many societies in India, providing food and income to countless people in India and around the globe. As we face the challenges of climate change and a rapidly developing and growing population, the need for innovation and sustainable agricultural practices has never been greater. However, the present farming practices rely heavily on manual labour, and irrigation techniques could be more efficient, high-cost exploitation of workers. This paper focuses on two crucial aspects of agriculture: irrigation and daily labour in the agricultural fields. Through thoroughly analysing existing literature and field research, we explore the various methods and technologies used in irrigation systems and their impact on farm productivity and sustainability. We delve into the limitations and difficulties of irrigation systems and look forward to identifying new ways to improve their effectiveness and efficiency, more importantly, contributing to the goal of achieving food security for all and solving the rise in demand for daily labour.
