Abstract

India is the second most populous country in the world and relies heavily on agriculture as its main source of income. The combination of agriculture and technology is needed to accelerate the development of agriculture, especially in rural areas, to increase productivity, efficiency and profitability. The application of technology in agriculture will enhance the farmer’s involvement in their occupation. Agriculture mainly consists of field grounding, transplantation, and harvesting. In each step of agriculture, irrigation is the main requirement. Farmers are spending more to irrigate their farms for agriculture. So, the application of technology to irrigation is the most important requirement to sustain the farmers. In this work, a pendulum-operated irrigation model is presented. The designed model is required to attach to the hand pump. The developed system will work without any external source of power, which will provide maximum profit to farmers.
