Technologies

Vigyan Ashram believes in use of technology for increasing pace of development and increase productivity of our development efforts. We believe in use of technology to reduce drudgery, stop exploitation of natural resources, balancing environment and also to ensure better quality of life for all citizens. Our rural areas of full of problems and Vigyan Ashram believes ‘Every problem is an opportunity!’ We try to find out technological solution to the rural problems. We are located in small village ‘Pabal and that helps us to be closer to the community and understand the difficulties faced by rural people. VA is continuously engaged in developing, adapting and disseminating new technologies useful to rural community. 

Our focus areas are as follows:

  • Precision farming, sustainable animal-husbandry and post-harvest technology development.
  • Farm mechanization (equipment for small & marginal farmers) & Artificial Intelligence applications.
  • Application of digital fabrication & sensor technology
  • Renewable energy applications
  • Water and waste management

Vigyan Ashram is working under SUNIL (Strengthening, Upscaling & Nurturing Innovations for Livelihood) program of Science for Equity, Empowerment and Development (SEED) division (Department of Science & Technology, GoI) Under SUNIL program support we are working on – 

  1.  Development of Renewable Energy (RE) based climate control and Artificial Intelligence (AI) based pest prediction system for Polyhouse farmers. 
  2.  A Black Soldier Fly (BSF) based bio-waste recycling & animal feed supplements 
  3.  A solar dryer for red-chilli drying
