A cellphone application which allows farmers in Maharashtra to remotely access their irrigation pumps has earned Pune-based Ossian Agro Automation a place in the finals of the Forum Nokia’s Calling All Innovators Contest to be held in Barcelona, Spain, next month.
Livemint.com reports the contest is set for February 17, 2009.
“The remote access eliminates the need to travel, sometimes long distances in inclement weather, to check the power and turn on/off the pumps.”About 5,000 farmers have used the application, called Nano Ganesh , since its launch in September.
