Smart/Intelligent Agriculture in India




Agritech Summit in Visakhapatnam in November 2017
Bill Gates attended.




Creative Agri Solutions (CASPL)



Introduction

CASPL was formed to play a catalyzing role in the ongoing agricultural revolution from traditional to modern farming practices with emphasis on issues of inclusiveness and sustainability.

India is in the midst of an agricultural revolution whereby modern farming systems meeting international quality norms are emerging alongside traditional agricultural systems. Many new concepts of agriculture are emerging – warehouse receipts, cold chains, logistics, multi-commodity exchanges, rural business hubs, GLOBALGAP/organic certification, agriculture and food parks etc.

In the emerging agricultural situation, farmers have multiple options for sale of agricultural commodities along with traditional markets, which were earlier not available – sale to processors and retailers, commodity exchanges, export markets etc.

Many agribusinesses have invested in modern farming systems to meet quality requirements for agricultural exports, processing, marketing and retailing.

Farmers’ benefit from modern farming systems characterized by better co-ordination of farm activities - access to quality inputs, information about modern production techniques, harvesting and post harvest management, processing and marketing.

Recognizing the benefits of improved farming systems for quality of produce and productivity along with implications for farm incomes, government sector, donor agencies and NGO's are partnering to engage in upgrading traditional agricultural systems through innovative approaches of multi-party projects.

Many creative efforts will be required to ensure that the revolution is inclusive and does not bypass small and marginal farmers.

CASPL will contribute to these endeavors by providing technical support, network, resources combined with out of the box thinking to identify successful practices and models on the ground

Smart Agriculture


The population of the globe is projected to be 9.6 billion people by 2050. The world is struggling to keep up as crop yields have already levelled off in many parts of the world. Soil, water and other natural resources are stretched to their maximum capacity. 1 in 8 people suffer from chronic hunger and more than 1 million are undernourished. Figuring out how to feed the growing population – while also having advancements in rural development, protecting the natural resources and reducing the gas emissions – is one of the greatest challenge that the world faces.

Governments, Corporations and even farmers need technology experts to use innovation and develop products that are cost effective and increase food production under already stressed eco-system.

With its enviable experience in the new product development domain, Bosch Engineering & Business Solutions delivers agriculture solutions to the agriculture industry (Agri-Input, Farm Mechanization, end-user farmers etc), enabling them to make optimal use of their available resources and further enhance productivity.

Bosch provides agriculture expertise in the areas of Precision Agriculture, Smart Irrigation, Remote Sensing Technology, Drone Applications, and Cold Storage Solution etc. all under the Internet of Things umbrella.

Government of India wants suggestions from people on smart farming


https://secure.mygov.in/group-issue/ideas-smart-farming/

Overview:-

The Internet of Things (IoT) can transform the agriculture industry and enable farmers to contend with the enormous challenges they face. The industry must overcome increasing water shortages, limited availability of lands, fertility of lands difficult to manage cost, while meeting the increasing consumption needs of a global population that is expected to grow by 70% by 2050.

Objective:-

New innovative IoT applications will address these issues and help in increasing the quality, quantity, sustainability and cost effectiveness of agricultural production. For example, leverage IoT can be leveraged to allow the farmers to evaluate the soil conditions, moisture level, livestock feed levels density and level of pest control. say if the level of pest control exceeds prescribed range, through sensors alarm and alerts can be generated to warn the farmers to take actions.

The purpose of “Smart Farming” is to increase the quality and quantity of agricultural production by using sensing technology to make farmers more intelligent and more connected.

With the help of this discussion platform we request you to share your valuable inputs on:

• How an individual or an organization may contribute to Smart Farming.
• Experiences and challenges in using technology as a tool in farming.
• Practical/workable solutions for complete imposition of the future of farming- “Smart Farming” using IoT

Smart Agriculture IoT Vertical Kit

Product Code: CH-SAIVK
Brand: Cooking Hacks
This kit enables monitoring of environmental parameters in agriculture, vineyards, greenhouses or golf courses. Soil moisture and temperature, humidity, leaf wetness and atmospheric pressure sensors allow to control the amount of sugar in grapes to enhance wine quality, as well as to control micro-climate conditions to maximize the production of fruits and vegetables in greenhouses.

The three levels of depth of the soil moisture sensor are helpful to reduce waste of water by selective irrigation in dry zones. On the other hand, controlling humidity and temperature levels in hay, straw, etc. can prevent fungus and other microbial contaminants.

Rani Rudrama Devi





రుద్రమదేవి  కాకతీయుల వంశంలో  వెలిగిన మహారాణి. ఈమె తండ్రి గణపతిదేవునికి పుత్ర సంతానం లేదు. అందువలన రుద్రాంబను తన కుమారుడిలా పెంచుకొని రుద్రదేవుడని నామకరణం చేసాడు. గణపతిదేవుడు  రుద్రమదేవిని నిరవద్యపుర (నిడదవోలు ) ప్రాంతాన్ని పాలిస్తున్న తూర్పు చాళుక్యుడైన వీరభద్రుడికి ఇచ్చి వివాహం చేశాడు.

National Ethos in Indian Education




















Jnanasangam - Pune 2017 - National Ethos in Bharatiya Tradition of Education and Contemporary Context
http://guide-india.blogspot.com/2017/11/jnanasangam-pune-2017-national-ethos-in.html


Ethos - Meaning


Ethos and Characteristic Spirit are interchangeable words which are defined by Webster as “the distinguishing character, sentiment, moral nature, or guiding beliefs of a person, group, or institution“.

2017

An expert committee of UGC has drafted a new syllabi for the BA/BSc, MA/MSc and PhD of the psychology courses, taking into consideration the "developments in the field of psychology with special relevance to the Indian context."
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/education/news/psychology-course-not-rooted-in-national-ethos-ugc-calls-for-revamp/articleshow/60989537.cms

On this new item media reported in very erroneous manner.

The original letter is given below.

It had been noticed that Psychology, as taught in institutions of higher learning was neither keeping pace with the recent developments in the discipline nor fulfilling the societal needs. The prevalent course contents commonly taught in the classroom were not rooted in the national ethos. UGC, therefore, constituted a Committee of

Experts to look into different aspects of teaching and research in Psychology besides drawing upon the considerable work that is underway for the purposes of developing vibrant model syllabi for different levels.

The model syllabifor Psychology at B.A/B.Sc, M.A/M.Sc and Ph.D. have been prepared by the Expert Committee taking into consideration the developments in the field of Psychology, with special relevance to the lndian context. The details of these model syllabi have been uploaded on the UGC website i.e. www.uqc.ac.in.

It is, therefore, requested that the same may be perused and suitably adopted in the Psychology courses run ,by your esteemed university and the affiliated colleges.

With regards,

The is an existing model curriculum published in 2001. Hence, the present model curriculum is only revision. Media has portrayed in totally different manner and it has got remarks from various professors who were critical of the new curriculum.  On 24 October 2017, I could not locate the new model curriculum.

The Governor also said that government is keen on bringing changes and the proceedings of the seminar have to be sent to the government. Governor said Bhaskaracharya belongs to Maharashtra and he calculated the time earth takes to make one round around the Sun. How did he make it? We have to know and use it further.
