Abstract: Abstract Agriculture is a cornerstone of India’s economy, employing 63% of the population and contributing about 14-15% to the GDP. It serves as the primary livelihood for over 80% of rural residents, with farming providing 52% of employment. However, rural regions face significant challenges in adopting digital marketing, such as lack of awareness, security concerns, high initial investments, poor infrastructure, and resistance to new technologies. The Digital India program aims to bridge these gaps and empower rural populations through digital tools, but progress has been slow. This study investigates the awareness and impact of digital marketing in Shimoga District, examining the differences between urban and rural areas to assess its potential for revolutionizing agricultural practices and fostering socio-economic development.
