The need for an enhanced version of the Automatic Pump Controller had arisen to cater to these existing problems which could not be mitigated by the current system.
Today, one of the major problems ailing the Indian agriculture sector is that of the feasibility of irrigation especially in the face of an erratic power supply which reduces its benefits.
The major problems encountered due to this erratic power supply was that
India is the second populous country in the world having more than 70% of the population residing in the rural area.
The main resource for the agriculture is timely and adequate supply of water and electricity. Nearly 20% of the farmers in India are dependent on electric water pumps for irrigation. The highly unreliable power supply with frequent power cuts has lowered the operational efficiency of farmers. The supply to agriculture is limited to few fixed hours throughout the day. Agriculture receives power mostly during off-peak hour as this reduces the cost of electricity supply for the transmission and distribution company. Because of the erratic nature of supply of electrical energy, the farmers have to vigilant so as to not be susceptible to the variable timings.
The need to immediately switch on their equipment after electricity supply resumes gains prime importance.
With the supply to agriculture being mostly during the non-peak hours, the farmers bear the brunt of waiting the whole day for electricity supply to resume so as starting their equipment for irrigation purposes.This results in reduction in productivity, wastage of labor, and equipment lying idle.
Moreover, frequently the farmers would be engaged in an activity at a location distant from the location of the pump would be installed at another place. The main challenges at such times also include passing through a rough terrain & also the threat of \wild animals is eminent. It thus becomes imperative for a farmer either to be physically available at the equipment site or employ a labor only to switch on the equipment when electricity supply resumes which results in further wastage of resources bringing down efficiency.
India is the second populous country in the world having more than 70% of the population residing in the rural area, 60% of India’s 1.1 billion populations depends on agriculture which contributes to 17% of the Indian economy.
The main resource for the agriculture is timely and adequate supply of water and electricity. Nearly 20% of the farmers in India are dependent on electric water pumps for irrigation. However with many states having a huge gap in demand and supply of electrical energy, the highly unreliable power supply with frequent power cuts has lowered the operational efficiency of farmers.
The supply to agriculture is limited to few fixed hours throughout the day. Agriculture receives power mostly during off-peak hour as this reduces the cost of electricity supply for the transmission and distribution company.

A patent granted Pump Controller which manages ground water efficiently without the farmer even realising it. This would be the last mile solution for the completely automatic pump operations. Bringing convenience for the farmer, saving of water and power due to precise operations with no extended pump operations due to manual intervention, along with the capability for data logging (in development). We achieve, convenience for the farmer, water conservation and power conservation in Agri-Irrigation.
The Technology is in line with the guidelines of PMKSY, Atal Bhujal Yojana as well as SDG of the UN for optimising ground water usage.
