Smart Remote Internet of Things Based Agriculture Model for India

There are lots onsite Internet of Things (IoT) based Agriculture Model have been proposed and implemented in several countries especially technology developed countries like US, Japan and China etc. But the scenario of India is different in comparison to technologically developed countries to implement IoT model due to some barriers, which are as follows (1) Electronic and IoT devices cost is higher and unaffordable by Indian farmers. (2) Electricity is not available in every rural areas and agriculture fields of India which is a bitter truth. (3) Internet is very costly in compare to the income of maximum agricultural farmers of India. (4) Majority of farmer is illiterate, poor and not technology friendly; they couldn’t operate smart phone, laptop and IoT devices till date. In the proposed model, Solar Panels based IoT (agricultural) embedded Drone with wireless internet connectivity has been filed over agriculture fields and collect data. It will be controlled and operated by government offices and NGO type organizations of Blocks. It eliminates all barriers to implement IoT in our Indian agriculture system. This model replaces onsite IoT model to remote IoT model as a intermediate solution with little variation of periodical data collection (i.e. less data produce periodically) but economically this model will be proven as a blessing especially for India. This model is developed especially for India and Indian states but it will also beneficial for other countries and states as well.
