Precision Agriculture- a new approach to agricultural science

"If the farmer is rich, Then so is the nation".
These lines fairly explains our Indian Agricultural Sector. Agriculture being directly proportional to our Economy affects the GDP(Gross Domestic Product ) directly. Being a very vast sector ig employees moree than 50% of the country's population.
Researchers have highlighted that the growth rate of agriculture in India is less than 40%pa, which is a very dull and weighty situation for all of us. They have also added that if this figure continues it would take more than 25 years four our farmers to double their income as of now, which is again a serious issue to highlight.
But.. Thanks to our current Government and Agriculture Ministry who have been so concerned and generous for our farm sector.
They are aiming for increasing the speed of our growth rate and double the wage of our farmers by 2022, which is a less than 5 years plan.
For achieving this mass task, Indian Government has started promoting PRECISION FARMING.
Precision farming or Precision agriculture is an approach to improve our farm management practices.
It focuses on IT sector, to ensure that crops get exact health and care they demand. It also ensures profitability, sustainability and protection to environment.
Precision Agriculture also uses softwares to provide farmers with guidance about crop rotation, optimal planting time, harvesting time and soil management.
Sensors- in fields measures the moisture content, temperature and surrounding air, which helps farmers to predict the required care and nourishment they should provide.
Drones- is a vehicle used in farming to monitor the crop growth and give a richer pictures  of the fields, useful in increasing crop yield and farm efficiency.
To conclude with Precision farming is a new revolutionary theme in agriculture which promises to decrease the input cost and increase the yield, to help the farmers increase their  yield with proper knowledge related to application of fertilizer , irrigation at right time right amount right place which will eventually reflect in our GDP.
P. S - By seeing the current scenario, Our team Sangawari is currently dedicating our time and efforts in building such drones.

What if I scored less in my boards?

Hey dear, Even if you would have scored 99% the world would have still judged you, some might feel very proud ,some happy, some jealous etc etc. It doesn't always matter that the society accepts us or not, what matters is we do or not. After your results they may taunt you for weeks, months or years (that he scored more than you, sharma ji’s daughter is a state topper bla bla), let them! It's your life dear not their's. Know who you are and always appreciate your capabilities. Don't let your brain and soul accept what others say. Tell them that you are meant for a bigger battle than this. I have known people with 50% owning all the luxuries now that the 90% holder cries for, that's how everything swaps. Marks are just numbers not a map for the rest of your life, may be they are important for the first few phases, like while taking admissions in your desired colleges, desired courses etc. But the rest phases are still in your hands. So don't get discourag...
