Academic Innovations

Create a centralized database of farmers of selected villages (2-3 villages of each zone) and integrate it with the Chhattisgarh government's unified farmer portal on pilot basis Deploy IoT-based weather stations in strategic locations within selected villages to monitor real-time weather conditions. Implement deep learning algorithms for real-time crop health monitoring using the mobile app. The models will detect early signs of diseases, pest infestations, and nutrient deficiencies, allowing timely interventions. Utilize IoT-enabled soil sensors to measure parameters such as moisture, pH levels, and nutrient content. Personalized Advisory Based on Soil Health Parameters: Integrate data from soil health sensors and weather stations to provide customized recommendations for fertilization, irrigation schedules, and crop management practices. Data Analytics for Yield Estimation Using Historical Data and Satellite Imagery: Analyze historical agricultural data and satellite imagery to predict crop yields accurately. Mobile cold storage solution for preserving perishable produce: To design, develop and deploy a sustainable mobile cold storage solution for preserving perishable produce of farmers with an aim to enhance agricultural efficiency. Market Linkage with Fintech platform: Establish direct market linkages for farmers, enabling them to sell produce at fair prices. The platform will also connect farmers to crop insurance providers, ensuring risk mitigation against climate and market uncertainties. Impact Assessment of Technology-Driven Solutions: Conduct a comprehensive assessment of the project's impact on agricultural productivity, income levels, and resource efficiency. The findings will be documented and shared for scalability and policy alignment. Development of Mobile APPs with facilitation of interacting in regional languages and user-friendly chatbots.
