Idea Name: | Kaashtcar |
Slogan: | Sarsabz Pakistan |
Startup Domain: | Agriculture |
Abstract: | |
The goal is to make a cost effective All-Terrain Vehicle mounted seed sowing mechanism which can operate in fields with 3 modes of operation; Manual, Remote controlled and Autonomous modes. | |
What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? | |
The unmet need is efficient farming. This is important as agriculture contributes about 21% GDP of Pakistan, uses 43% of the labor force while feeding approximately 75% population of Pakistan. Also, the total plough-able land in Pakistan is about 40%. | |
Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? | |
Farmers across the country will benefit. The conventional seeding operations require manual labor, resulting in uneven seed spacing and also consumes a lot of time.The main aim is to enhance the productivity of farms with minimum man power, as well as to increase the yield. | |
How will the solution works | |
The seeder's parameters include seed spacing, row spacing and seed depth all of which can be varied, enabling it to be used for a wide variety of seeds. The seeds are to be stored in a tank and then isolated in a gear-like unit before being sent into the soil at specified distances. Also, the seeder can be detached and replaced by a reaper. Moreover, the autonomous mode implemented by sensors and controllers will allow the ATV to fulfill its purpose via path planning. | |
Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different | |
We are competing with traditional manual methods of farming as well as large-scale harvesters.. The multi-purpose harvesters are very expensive and thus cannot be afforded by a majority of the population. The ATV will enable reaping and seeding at a much cheaper cost. | |
