Digitization: A Paradigm Shift of Agriculture

The Indian Agricultural sector provides employment to about 65% of the labour force, accounts for 27% of GDP, contributes 21% of total exports, and raw materials to several industries. Researchers show that 68% of the entire population of India is covered by the rural area and 58% of people depend on agriculture as their main source of livelihood. The fast Growing Population demands 50% of an increase in the production of the food to feed all. At the same time, the traditional inefficient practices, water scarcity for irrigation, less productive lands, double cropping, lack of crop rotation, lack of time for soil recreation are putting pressure on fertility and yields followed by the exploitation of the middlemen preventing the farmers from getting the best price for their products. Under such circumstances, the concept of Digitization of Agricultural Sector becomes more vital. There is a necessity of empowering the rural community by creating digital Infrastructure, providing various digital services, and Promoting digital literacy. Digitization in Agriculture can be defined as ICT and data ecosystems to support the development and delivery of timely, targeted information and services to make farming profitable and sustainable. The distinct vision of our Prime Minister assures regarding several initiatives taken to provide “Protective shield” to the farmers to increase production, Improve storage and connectivity with the consumers for better supply and profit. This paper intends to explore the initiatives taken by Government for providing Digital Infrastructure such as Automation, agricultural robots, smart sensors and decision support systems to the farmers and also to study about how it would result in improving the income of the farmers. It mainly focuses on the three areas that encompass Digital Agriculture i.e- Data Intelligence, Smart Analysis, and Communication.

The Experimental Investigation and Analysis of Spot Welding Process Parameters for Maximum Tensile Strength

This experimental study is based on an investigation of the effect of welding parameters on tensile shear strength in the resistance spot welding (RSW) process and optimization of welding parameters. The experiment conducted under varying parameters like forces, currents and weld times without disturbing water flow and room temperature. The setting of welding parameters was determined by using Taguchi experimental design of L9 orthogonal array method. The combination of the optimum welding parameters have determined by using analysis of Signal- to- Noise (S/N) rario. The experimental result clearly shows that it is possible to increase tensile shear strength of a joint by the combination of suitable welding parameters. Hence the experimental result proved the validity of the used taguchi method for enhancing the welding strength performance and optimizing the most suitable welding parameters in resistance spot welding operations.

Language Proficiency of English among +2 students in relation to their Locality and Stream of Study

The study compares the Language Proficiency of English among +2 Students of Shimla district in relation to their Locality and Stream of Study. A Sample of 600 students was selected randomly from the Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh. For comparing the data 2X2X2 ANOVA statistics technique was used. The result revealed that significant differences existed among rural and urban science and arts stream of English and Hindi medium students

Smart Surveillance Analysis System Using Hadoop

Security and time play very important role in everyone's life. So it is required to develop a system which will make an individual feel protected. In case if any changes are detected then it can be analyzed in a minimum time. Up to some extent, environmental changes are also detected. The first task of multi-camera surveillance is Automation object detection analysis. Changes in the CCTV recording are detected using OpenCV and they are represented by using particular colors. On single machine it will take ample of time to analyze the CCTV video recording, this drawback is overcome by using Hadoop. Hadoop has a feature of centralized server processing and distributed processing. The analysis is done using algorithms. Color histogram, Mean square difference and SSIM index are the algorithms used for frame comparison. An algorithm with the accurate result is preferred. Experimental results show a reduction in analysis time.

Ac-Dc Optimal power flow Based nodal pricing in deregulated power system

In This Paper an AC-DC Optimal power flow based nodal pricing methodology is presented. The active and reactive power generated and purchased at each bus is calculated by using OPF. Also, nodal prices can be obtained by using OPF. Here the nodal prices are important because they reflect the marginal generation and load at each bus. In general, these prices are also known as locational marginal Prices and spot prices. In this paper, for the load flow analysis, a well-known Newton-Raphson method is used and is modified to achieve compatibility for a.c.-d.c. systems with integrated d.c. links in the a.c. network. This Paper use the MATLAB Software to determine the OPF based Nodal pricing scheme without violating system constraints. This approach has been demonstrated by simulating the study with IEEE30 bus system and conclusions are drawn.

Robotic Fire Extinguishing Vehicle with Rocker Bogie Suspension System

Fire safety is the set of practices intended to reduce the destruction caused by fire. Fire safety measures include those that are intended to prevent ignition of an uncontrolled fire and those that are used to limit the development and effects of a fire after it starts. The robotic fire extinguishing vehicle can be used as a vehicle which can extinguish the fire in a fire hazard zone. The advantage of using this vehicle is that it didn't need the direct presence of the fireman at the fire zone. Instead, this vehicle can be controlled by a user with the help of a laptop. These vehicles can be classified under AGV as the vehicle movements are purely automatic. The rocker-bogie suspension we are using is an another positive factor as this will help the vehicle to move easily over the obstructions in their path. The vehicle can be contained with sensors which help them in detecting the intensity of temperature in the zone and also the PIR sensors used will help them to detect the human presence inside the zone. Special cameras used will help them in having a view of the surroundings through which they move.
