Introduction

With growing water scarcity and increasing costs, modern agriculture requires more intelligent solutions.

This narrative illustrates the journey of a farmer who converted his difficulties into triumphs through the use of NEER’s clever technology.

Meet Ramesh – The Farmer from Prayagraj

His everyday life was a battle against uneven irrigation, unnecessary water usage, and long working hours in the field. His age-old methods drained him and also made his output less in the farm as well as at home.

The Problem Before NEER

Prior to the usage of NEER, Ramesh was forced to perform the manual operation of his motorpump twice a day, once in the morning and again at night. Irregular watering became one of the consequences of such a process while the electricity bills were rising. Since he wasn't able to regulate the water supply or the time, there was a great amount of water being wasted and crop quality fluctuated.

Discovering NEER – A New Beginning

The information about the NEER Internet Controller reached Ramesh only after a farmer told him that he has been benefited from it. Since the device can automate and monitor water usage without his intervention, Ramesh made up his mind to set it up in his farm. To him, It was a chance to keep the water usage under control, save time and labour, and at the same time maintain the crop health.
