Sector Analysis

Agriculture in India is a mainstay occupation. Provides livelihood to more than 50% of the population. Although its contribution to GDP in comparison to

industrial and service sector has been diminishing but nevertheless its contribution to exports and to processing industries as a raw material cannot be ignored.

Post white and green revolution, technology has got an entry in Indian agriculture scenario.

Key to attain sustainable development goals is to empower rural farmers to innovatively manage soils, water, biological resources, pests, disease vectors, genetic diversity and conserve natural resources in a culturally appropriate manner.

Category Analysis

The micro Irrigation system market is the efficient irrigation systems developed to serve needs of farmers. It is a solution to high cost of irrigation, lack of technology savvy nature of farmers and frequent power failures. The various means of irrigation:

Drip irrigation Canal irrigation River water channelising Rainfall

Problem identification

Unavailability of electricity 24*7 in rural areas Water Requirements of different crops at odd

timings Removing time and place constraints Labour for help in irrigation Theft in farms Power wastage Bio fuel wastage Water wastage

Nano Ganesh- Introduction GSM Mobile based remote control system Exclusively for the use with water pump sets in agriculture

areas. The need from routine problems faced by the farmers in

operating the pumps. E.g. fluctuations in power supply, difficult terrain, fear of

animals on way to pumps, hazardous locations of pumps along river or water storage beds, shock hazards, rains.

Key characteristics of Innovation

Water pump can be controlled from any distance by

a mobile or land line phone. A mobile network is essential near the water pumps. One can check availability of the power supply at the

pump end. One can check the load on / off status by a simple

audio tone. Automatic Mode / Remote Mode Available. Provision of memory for storing the on and off

commands.

Working of model – Primary Research

Step 1- One mobile phone is attached to the motor and the other is with the owner

Step2-The farmer calls on the other number

Step 3 –A specific tone is heard Step 4-A code if given to the

owner of the device. Example: On pressing 3 – motor starts; On pressing 9 – It stopsSource: Pritam Patil and his employee
