How state governance can offer a new paradigm to energy transition in Indian agriculture?

The agriculture sector is already deprived of the potential transformative effects of a transition as a result of the pursuit of these goals within power and climate silos. A state-level transition governance can stitch together the comprehensive strategies has the potential of having an impact on the energy transition and seeks to address multiple and simultaneous existing and upcoming challenges in agriculture sector. The present study bases on a bibliometric analysis and unpacks a state-level governance framework as the starting points for energy transition management in agriculture. Sustainable development and climate change appear as the contemporary driver of energy transition. State focus on hydrological modelling and irrigation found to be quietly weak in the thematic map. Faced with existing state-level issues related to energy transition in agriculture, this study proposes a new ‘state energy transition paradigm’ that will pave the way for comprehensive policy and farm level adoption of clean energy technologies.
