Problem Addressed
Harvesting crops like cabbage and sugarcane and uprooting weeds like Carrot Grass (also known as Congress Grass) required significant time and effort. When uprooting carrot grass manually, hands often become red, develop blisters, and may even get infected. Carrot grass competes with the crops planted in the fields, taking their place and preventing their growth. It absorbs all the nutrients from the surrounding soil. If cut, it regrows after a few days and cannot be eliminated by cutting alone. Farmers are at risk of diseases like asthma, skin infections, and even cancer due to exposure to carrot grass.
To solve these issues, Aryan has created a machine that can perform multiple functions.
Technology
The machine streamlines the cole crop-cutting process, reducing farmers’ workload and saving them valuable time. This machine allows farmers to harvest crops like cabbage, sugarcane and corn without bending, making the process more efficient and less labour-intensive. By changing its blade, they can also uproot carrot grass, other weeds, and harmful plants without direct contact.
Societal Impact
The innovation reduces farmers’ drudgery.
Current status
He Has sold 25-30 machines. The innovation is affordably priced at Rs. 1000/-
