Precision Farming Pilot with Bharat Rohan: A Game-Changer for Farmers

Smart Village Movement (SVM), in partnership with Bharat Rohan, has successfully completed a Precision Farming pilot, empowering farmers with advanced UAV-based hyperspectral imaging. This technology has provided real-time crop health insights, enabling farmers to make informed decisions on irrigation, fertilization, and pest control. The pilot demonstrated how data-driven farming can reduce costs, improve yields, and enhance sustainability. Encouraged by its success, SVM is now exploring ways to expand precision farming across more regions.

Moving Towards Spectral Library Capabilities for Ag-Tech

Following the pilot, the next big step is developing a Spectral Library—a database of spectral signatures unique to different crops, soil types, and disease patterns. This will help farmers, researchers, and agri-tech companies detect crop stress, soil deficiencies, and early signs of pests or diseases before visible symptoms appear. With AI-powered analysis, this initiative could revolutionize predictive farming, reducing losses and increasing food security.

Drones for Smart Spraying: The Future of Farm Inputs

SVM is now exploring the use of drones for precision spraying of fertilizers and pesticides. Compared to traditional methods, drone spraying reduces chemical usage by up to 30%, ensures even application, and minimizes human exposure to harmful substances. Initial studies suggest higher efficiency, reduced water consumption, and lower labor costs, making it a game-changer for small and large-scale farmers alike.

What’s Next?

With AI-driven agriculture, smart drones, and precision data, farming is entering a new era of efficiency and sustainability. SVM will continue collaborating with experts, farmers, and innovators to bring cutting-edge solutions to Indian agriculture.
