Abstract

Agriculture is one of the most vital activities for survival as well as economy because it not only caters the nutritional or basic need for living beings, it also helps in business of connected activities like logistics, storage, sales etc. Hence agriculture is also called the backbone of any economy. Therefore, it is very important to facilitate agricultural activities using technology in order to meet the ever-growing demand for food grains and help the related activities in running the economy. This project particularly deals with helping farmers in their day to day activities in the field like ploughing, sowing seeds and basic harvesting that doesn’t include separation of grains from the produce. It’s a vehicle that has the above mentioned th ree functionalities which can be used one by one or simultaneously that can be accessed with the help of a remote/transmitter without the farmer physically doing the job. This vehicle can also be made autonomous and in large size so that all activities in the farm can be done with least or no human interference.

Keywords

Agriculture, economy, ploughing, sowing seeds, basic harvesting, remote access.
