The story in detail

India is an agricultural producing country with its own zeal for innovation. The students from Minigurukulam St. Girls School are from an agricultural family background. When they were exposed to resources in the Atal Tinkering Lab, they started ideating on making lives simple for the farmer community.

With the help of the IoT tools, students were able to create an agriculture IoT system which helps the farmers to manage their farms effectively and economically.

This system is capable of aiding the farmers with coverage over their entire crops, even in the remote areas. It is proposed to be economical and easy to use. The system has an irrigation unit that could constantly monitor the crop which could be pre-set by the farmer for various crops.

The soil moisture sensor available in the ATL monitors, the content of water in the soil through out the day. This date can be accessed by the farmers remotely from any where in the world using IOT. The data is processed for easy understanding for the farmers, so as to plant the next steps of farming or crop harvesting.
