Farmers in Hisar, Haryana, can now control their tubewells with a simple tap on their mobile phones, right from the comfort of their homes. Furthermore, they can determine when their fields require water and the areas in need of maximum sunlight. This new level of convenience will extend beyond just tubewells, allowing factory machines to be operated remotely. A special device developed by Dr. Sumit at Guru Jambheshwar University makes this possible.
What is the Solar Radiation Forecasting Instrument?
Dr. Sumit Saroha of Hisar's Guru Jambheshwar University has developed a patented Solar Radiation Forecasting Instrument, which can help farmers predict solar radiation levels. After creating the Solar Iridis Forecasting Instrument, Dr. Sumit has secured a patent for it, and its primary function is to indicate areas receiving abundant sunlight. Utilizing this device can assist in selecting optimal locations for solar energy plants. Farmers can easily determine the best irrigation schedules based on the intensity of the sunlight received.
How Can the Tubewell be Operated from Home?
In addition to this, the university's Electrical Engineering students – Anshul, Shubham, and Saksham Jatin – have collaborated to create a model that enables the operation of machines from a considerable distance using a mobile phone. The system also provides alerts in case of malfunctions, indicating potential issues with the machinery.

Students Create a Smart Blind Stick
Moreover, Dr. Sumit Saroha has developed an automatic starter and reversal induction motor. The JGU students also crafted a smart blind stick equipped with sensors which detect objects within seventy-five centimeters, alerting the user in advance. According to student Jigyasa, who worked on the stick, microcontroller coding was implemented, and an ultrasonic sensor was integrated. The stick also features an alarm that emits a beep when detecting an object in its path.
