The world is entering a period of economic uncertainty and the impact on global
economic growth is ambiguous. In contrast, these uncertainties are balancing on
emerging markets’ growth prospects particularly in India. Agriculture has always
been associated with the production of basic food crops. Agriculture and farming
were synonymous so long as farming was not commercialised. But as the process of
economic development accelerated, many other occupations allied to farming came to
be recognised as part of agriculture. Agriculture is the primary source of livelihood
for about 60% of India’s population (Situation Assessment Survey of Agricultural
Households, conducted by the National Sample Survey Office). The farming industry
will become arguably more important than ever before in the next few decades.
According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the world will need to
produce 70% more food in 2050 than it did in 2006 to feed the growing population of
the earth (United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation, 2012).To meet the
growing demand, farmers and agricultural companies are embracing technology for
analytics and greater production capabilities. In rural India, agriculture being one of
the largest sources of livelihood is exposed to periodic droughts and floods, and
farmers lack market access, marketing networks, and information systems. This paper
conceptualizes smart farming effectiveness and the main lessons that emanate from
this paper are that Internet of Things (IoT), combined with big data, provides farmers
with a wealth of information that they can use to maximize productivity in the
vulnerable environment and maintain the quality of food in the supply chain.

Agriculture sector plays crucial role in Indian Economy. It contributes about 17% to the total GDP and provides employment to over 60% of the population. Need of Enhancement of all stakeholders related to Agricultural sector. Most of the farmers doesn’t have any idea about the rates of crops and their products and they sell their products at any cost Improper accessibility. Android application will resolve the accessibility problem between all the agricultural stakeholders. Many laborers depend on agriculture to get their wages. They can include, grass cutters, tractor drivers, farming apparatus technicians, or anyone who is directly involved in farming activities. That said, agriculture allows manpower to be shifted between the agricultural and non-agricultural sectors. If farmers get an assured minimum support prices for their produces and also if the functioning in trade is made digital or online, or by eliminating middle person who is exchanging goods from farmers to factories or from factories to farmers. Then the financial state of farmers will be improved in agricultural field. These problems arises only because of not having the proper accessibility between each other. Nowadays it’s essential to develop of an effective network of all the agricultural stakeholders. With the help of Android application will try to provide better accessibility in terms of all resources (Time, Money and equipment) between farmers to vendors and vice versa, farmer to workers and vice versa, farmer to agriculture consultant as well as seeds and fertilizers suppliers.
Artificial Intelligence is one of the emerging technologies in the field of agriculture which tries to simulate human reasoning in intelligent systems. It is making a revolution in agriculture by replacing inefficient traditional methods with more efficient AI based methods.

Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

The findings reveal that NPA is common problem for both public and private sector banks and is associated with all types of loans either that is housing loans, agriculture loans and loans to SMES. NPAs of both public and private sector banks show the increasing trend. In 2010-11 GNPA of public and private sector were at same level it was 2% but after 2010-11 it increased in many fold and at present there is GNPA in some more than 15%. It shows the dark area of Indian banking sector.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF MECHANICAL AND TRIBOLOGICAL RELATION OF NYLON/BaSO4 POL...IAEME Publication
An experiment conducted in this study found that BaSO4 changed Nylon 6's mechanical properties. By changing the weight ratios, BaSO4 was used to make Nylon 6. This Researcher looked into how hard Nylon-6/BaSO4 composites are and how well they wear. Experiments were done based on Taguchi design L9. Nylon-6/BaSO4 composites can be tested for their hardness number using a Rockwell hardness testing apparatus. On Nylon/BaSO4, the wear behavior was measured by a wear monitor, pinon-disc friction by varying reinforcement, sliding speed, and sliding distance, and the microstructure of the crack surfaces was observed by SEM. This study provides significant contributions to ultimate strength by increasing BaSO4 content up to 16% in the composites, and sliding speed contributes 72.45% to the wear rate
ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.
OPTIMAL RECONFIGURATION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION RADIAL NETWORK USING HYBRID MET...IAEME Publication
Distribution system is a critical link between the electric power distributor and the consumers. Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.

1. INTRODUCTION
Life in 2017 will be transformed by the development of multidisciplinary technology across
all dimensions and the revolution of information availability and utility will continue to
profoundly affect the world. As the world’s population inches toward eight billion, the focus
worldwide has shifted to feeding it in a sustainable way. It’s estimated that 2.5 billion people
live directly from agricultural production systems, either as full or part-time farmers, or as
members of farming households that support farming activities (International Fund for
Agricultural Development, and the United Nations Environment Programme, 2013).
Agricultural technology is one of the most impactful fields of modern technology that drives
the need for food to feed the growing population. The current world population of 7.3 billion
is expected to reach 8.5 billion by 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050 and 11.2 billion in 2100 (United
Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, 2015).
It has opened an era in which powered machinery does the work formerly performed by
people and animals. With the coming of the Industrial Revolution and the development of
more advanced machines, farming methods have taken a great leap forward. Instead of the
traditional harvesting practices like sickles & blades, wheeled machines cut a continuous
swath. Instead of threshing the grain by beating it with truncheons, threshing machines were
used to separate the seeds from the stalks. These complex machines required a lot of power,
originally supplied by bulls or other domesticated animals.
But, the invention of tractors has changed the way farming is done. Instead of cutting the
grain stalks and transporting them to a stationary threshing machine, the modern tractors can
now cut, thresh, and separate the grain while moving continuously through the field.
Currently, mechanized agriculture also involves the use of airplanes, helicopters, drones
(Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) & Internet of Things (IoT).
2. INTERNET OF THINGS
Technological innovation in farming is not a new concept. Handheld mechanisms were used
hundreds of years ago followed by the Industrial Revolution which brought about the change.
The 1800s brought the chemical fertilizers, grain elevators, and the tractor. In the late 1900s,
farmers start using technology to plan their work. The Internet of Things (IoT) is set to push
the future of farming to the next level. The Internet of Things is a concept that dates back to
the end of last century and is related to connecting everyday objects to the Internet, but as
technology continues to advance, it becomes more important in the disruptive innovation
segment (BBVA Innovation Center, 2016). IoT is being driven by revenue growth across
various sectors such as manufacturing, military, transportation and the agriculture. Most
importantly IoT is transforming the agriculture sector by enabling the farmers to face their
day to day challenges.
The industry must overcome increasing water shortages, limited availability of lands,
difficult to manage costs while meeting the increasing consumption needs of a global
population that is expected to grow by 70% by 2050 (Food and Agriculture Organization of
the United Nations, 2009).IoT could play a crucial role in meeting this need and push the
future of farming to the next level. Smart farming is already becoming the norm among
farmers and is quickly gaining acceptance. When combined with big data, it can improve the
efficient use of inputs like fertilizers and pesticides, monitor the livestock, predict diseases,
scan the storage capacities like water tanks, and make sure that crops are fed and watered
well. IoT applications in agriculture and Internet of farm Things (IofT) will help farmers meet
the world's food demands in the coming years.
3. Smart Technology in Farming Development
http://www.iaeme.com/IJM/index.asp 55 editor@iaeme.com
3. INTERNET OF FARM THINGS
The advancement in the technology ensures that the smart devices are getting sophisticated,
smaller in size, highly secure and more economical. The primary objective of these connected
devices is to ensure that important information is collected for future use. Though awareness
about these connected devices has been created recently, there are progressive signs.
Innovative practices like smart farming will be the answer to the problems that the
agricultural sector is currently facing. Connected farming is the future of agriculture and this
is possible by developing IoT across the agricultural sector.
The concept of connected farming will disrupt the agriculture sector and make the future
of farming possible. Smart farming offers automated farming techniques, precision in crop
control, and useful data collection. Internet of Farm Things (IofT) can be used to monitor data
on soil and crop condition and predict and prevent crop disease in real-time.
IofT can make sure that the crops are fed and watered without any intervention. Smart
agriculture is becoming common among farmers, and the usage of advanced techniques in
farming is growing. A survey conducted last year by the American Farm Bureau Federation, a
farm trade association, found that 39 percent of respondents in major corn- and wheat-
growing states were using sensor--driven technologies on their farms (Internet of Farm
Things, 2015).
This shift has been made possible by the proliferation of wireless networks in farm
regions and the popularity of smartphones that can deliver information to farmers working in
the fields. Tractor manufacturers have been fixing sensors on field equipment for a decade,
making it possible to collect data like the topography of each field and the location and depth
of each seed planted.
4. REAL TIME INFORMATION FOR HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY
With real-time data, farmers can work in their vast land and monitor their assets across
entities such as their field, machinery, and finance even without being physically present. IoT,
combined with big data, further provides farmers with a wealth of information that they can
use to optimize efficiency, maximize productivity, and maintain the quality of food in the
supply chain - from the field to fork.
By developing IoT systems and using data collected from a variety of sensors can enhance
the welfare of the livestock. Systems have to be put in place to ensure that all operations are
being executed within the certain constraint that can alert farmers for any issues. For example,
using IoT farmers can monitor the health of livestock and also track& establish their grazing
patterns which will help to increase the yield.
5. ENHANCINGIRRIGATION AND PRODUCTIVITY USING DRONES
AND SENSORS
Businesses can focus on improving the agri-industry. Using the contract farming model,
businesses can help farmers by providing better quality information using IoT that aids better
decision making. The solutions must primarily address two crucial issues prevalent which are
irrigation and productivity in the agriculture space.
According to the United Nations Global Assessment Report, since 1900 more than 11
million people have died as a consequence of drought and more than 2 billion have been
affected by drought, more than any other physical hazard. Using technology in agriculture,
this problem can be resolved with assets such as drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
Drones in agriculture are low-cost aerial camera platforms with an autopilot mode which
uses GPS and sensors to collect relevant data using a regular camera for aerial visuals. A
4. Anish K Ravi and Dr. C.S. Ramani Gopal
http://www.iaeme.com/IJM/index.asp 56 editor@iaeme.com
regular camera can provide information about plant growth, coverage, and other things.
However, a multi-spectral sensor expands the utility to its full potential. It allows a farmer to
see things which cannot be seen in the visible spectrum, such as the moisture content in the
soil and plant health. The use of drones in agriculture is expected to make up to 80% of the
future commercial UAV market (Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International
(AUVSI), 2013).
Drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are used in data collection and analysis for precision
farming. These vehicles and systems provide data to the farmers. Routine observation by
drones can help farmers track problems faster and react more quickly, which can help in
preventing crop losses. It can also help farmers to use fertilizers and pesticides at an optimum
level thereby reducing costs and pollution of the water bodies. The data generated by drones
can help to gain more accurate information of how crops are reacting to these techniques,
which will lead the more effective use of resources available.
Real-time data about the soil, weather and moisture levels can help farmers make better-
informed decisions about the sowing and harvesting of crops. This information can, therefore
increase the overall yield of crops. Using IoT in their fields, farmers can collect relevant
information directly from the source, and then use that information to gain insights and use
those insights to overcome problems.
6. CONCLUSION
Despite being an agrarian nation India faces various challenges while applying IoT in
agriculture. The application of technology requires the development of a whole ecosystem of
government policies, good infrastructure, public funding and private entrepreneurship with a
concerted and collaborative effort. Internet connectivity is one of the major challenges.
Another challenge is the presumption about Indian farmers not being ready for the advanced
technology. Thereby it results in drastically low awareness of IoT devices and systems
amongst Indian farmers. The positive outcome is that the awareness of the benefits of smart
farming and the applicability of IoT is slowly growing in the agricultural circuits. It is
perceived that innovation in agriculture with connected farming will be the future of Indian
agriculture. With the government initiatives like make in India and digital India- smart
technology could be applied to make the best out of our agricultural potential.
