Mobile Solution for Improving Operational Efficiency in Agricultural Sector

India is the second populous country in the world with more than 70% of the population living in rural area, 60% of India’s 1.1 billion populations living off agriculture which contributes to 17% of the Indian economy. The main resource for the agriculture is timely and adequate supply of water and electricity. Nearly 20% of the farmers in India are dependent on electric water pumps for irrigation. However many states have a huge gap in demand and supply of electrical energy. The highly unreliable power supply with frequent power cuts has lowered the operational efficiency of farmers. In this paper, we have discussed an intelligent mobile based solution that has helped farmers to increase the operational efficiency. The methodology of the paper is based on case study where mobile solutions have been deployed which has resulted in benefits to all the stakeholders making it a sustainable deployment.
