Abstract:
The history of agriculture in India dates back to the Rig-Veda. Today, India ranks second worldwide in farm output. Agriculture and allied sectors like forestry and fisheries accounted for 13.7% of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) in 2013, about 50% of the total workforce. The economic contribution of agriculture to India's GDP is steadily declining with the country's broad-based economic growth. Still, agriculture is demographically the broadest economic sector and plays a significant role in the overall socio-economic fabric of India. As a civil engineer, we can provide the farmers with contemporary methods of farming to conquer the arising problems of farming. For this work, 10117.1 square meter (2.5 acres) farmland is taken because if a farmer owns a land piece of 16187.4 square meter (4 acres) which in future will be divided among two children, then each will receive 10117.1 square meter (2.5 acres) land piece and by this part the farmer has to earn living for his family. Thus, educating farmer about modern techniques of farming and irrigation and will link to technological world. Firstly, some exceptionally new methods of farming to have productivity on any type of soil or surface (like tiled floor) are introduced. Secondly, we have developed a mobile application with the help of which farmer can know about the farm conditions and can irrigate it whenever required. Thirdly, drip irrigation and micro sprinkler system with solar pump is suggested through which farmer can utilize every single drop of water can be used and water will be stored in overhead tank so that irrigation would not be dependent on electricity. Then, provision of biogas plant which will consume the waste organic matter of the farm and result in generation of electricity and manure is also introduced.
