Telangana Man Creates Device To Detect Unauthorised Entry In Agricultural Fields

There are millions of farmers across the country who work hard every day to earn a livelihood. We often see farmers applying unique ways of farming which decreases their physical work. But, even today protecting crops from animals and become a major challenge for farmers. To address this problem, a farmer from Telangana has invented a special device that can detect danger in agricultural fields. Let us know more about the person and his invention here:

The name of the person who invented the device is Praveen Thotakoor. He is a resident of Tallasingaram village, located in the Choutuppal Mandal, Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district, Telangana. Due to financial constraints, he could not complete his studies. Despite that, he pursued Intermediate Vocational training. While engaging in small-scale farming, he observed the hardships faced by his parents and other farmers. Protecting their crops from thieves and animals is a major challenge for them, especially during the harvest season. Additionally, farmers often had to stay overnight in their fields to guard their crops and other farming equipment. Theft incidents are very common in villages, leading to huge losses for farmers.

Understanding the issue faced by the farmers every day, Praveen decided to find a solution. Using his skills he made a sensor device. He named the device Rythu Bharosa Security (RBS) The device includes a 12-watt solar panel, a 12-watt battery, a regular cell phone with a SIM card, two small mirrors, laser sensors with two rods, and a sound alarm box. The entire system runs on solar power. The cell phone attached to the device charges itself automatically using solar energy.

The device is connected to relevant people by saving the person’s number on it. Praveen mentioned that he had designed this to protect crops, poultry, goats, and sheep. When installed in agricultural fields or any other place, the RBS sensor detects the presence of animals or thieves. Upon detection, the sensors emit a loud sound and immediately call the pre-saved phone numbers, alerting the farmer about the danger. He further mentioned that these sensors can work effectively within a range of up to one kilometre.
