Abstract: India is an agrarian economy and the agriculture sector plays vital role in the overall development of the country. In the Indian context, villages are the heart of the nation; agriculture is the principal source of livelihood for many households in rural India. Thus, the issues and challenges concerning agriculture need to be focused to achieve the country development by empower villages through recent trends and technology. Irrigation is very much important in maintaining the soil moisture level for the grow of the plants. Hence, there is dire need for a smart and efficient irrigation system that results in the simple and burden free cultivation procedure for the farmer. The smart farm irrigation system enables precious water utilization in an efficient manner. This is done using the technology named IoT (Internet of Things). IOT has been referred to an incipient wave of advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Main ideology behind this paper is to lower human intervention for the full automation of the system and effective utilization of water. This is made possible by using IoT devices with soil moisture sensors, which determines the amount of moisture contents of the soil and if it go below a predefined threshold value , then it release the water through the irrigation pipes. The entire system is controlled and operated by the microcontroller board called Arduino UNO Board.
