Inspiration

The serial suicides by Farmers across Indian Sub Continent.

What it does

The Application takes the responsibility of thinking on behalf of the farmer. It analyses all the data and factors for individual crops and suggests the crop that would most likely yield maximum returns on investment to the farmer.

In effect, the accuracy of the decision involved in processing the various factors is enhanced significantly. This would lead to better returns on investment to the farmer. Ensuring the growth of the farmer, the economy & the nation at large.

How we built it

In a nut shell, I would put it as “Suggesting which crop to harvest considering all the factors that might be affecting the growth”. It sounds very simple, but in reality it is a quite a task. Hence, we decided to create an Application that would do just that. Based on all the analytics & data processing technologies available.

What we learned

When we started to look closely into the situation, we realized that the farmer was just like a typical entrepreneur. Except his new venture would begin every 3 or 6 months. Now we’re all aware of the Startup success rate (Mostly 10%); but then, how is the farmer supposed to make a living when his crops fail? Without any other means for livelihood he’d have no other choice but suicide.

This led us to start understanding the dynamics of farming and the reasons it would fail. When started looking at all the variables such as Growth period, Soil type, Water requirement, Ideal temperature, Relative humidity, Rainfall behavior, Incidence of light, Rate of degradation, Resistance to pest & diseases; we could start to understand the difficulty in farming.

Now, just like most of the population, who blame the farming for his un-wise decision of choosing a crop that would fail; we would respectfully disagree. Making the choice of the Crop to start with is a lot more complicated than what we would perceive it to be. In fact, we couldn’t crack it with our University graduations; expecting a farmer who is most probably illiterate to pick the right crop would most likely be impossible.
