Agriculture has been India's primary source of income and employment, and we have known this since our school days. Yet, very few technological applications have been directed towards the core process of farming. Most technological aids are in place for making better seeds, fertilizers and other chemical components. The current technology available cannot be used across activities. Moreover, even the basic models are too expensive to even acquire for the debt-ridden farmers. Thus the only traces of technology seen in agriculture are tractors that are fit with rotavators for ploughing. Activities like seed sowing, fertilizer spraying and weed removing continue to be carried on manually. Also, irrigation processes are hindered due to lack of power and shortage of continuous water supply. Sustainability of resources is the need of the hour, and hence alternative and renewable sources of energy, coupled with mechanization of time consuming activities |

| Well promode thank you for future oriented task. Actually I have been working on Agricultural Robot. I have worked on the harvesting robot. Now I am thinking how to implement the another self navigational robot. I am Indian and PhD graduate from Tokyo University of Agricultural and Technology. My measure interest robotics and math. ope you will read it. Lets make new robot for Indian farmers/international level. Peter |

| Great work Pramod.. but to actually realize the benefits of this machine it has to be commercially viable and available within 2-3 years of span.. it will take day and nights of efforts to make it a commercial success wish u all the luck.. and whoever reading this article if somebody has got money to invest pls come fwd for the noble cause.. I bet money won't be wasted but only grow big |
