Bhubaneswar: IIT Bhubaneswar with the help of the state government has been specifically designed and developed a mobile solar pump for state farmers.
A total of 13 solar pumps have been distributed among farmers from various districts.
This project was funded by the Directorate of Agriculture and Food Production under Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY).
This is a photovoltaic (MSPV) solar system that is affordable to pump water in long distance areas and cannot be accessed from Odisha.
This project began in 2017.
Villages that do not have electricity or erratic supplies can use these pumps for irrigation, lead this project.
Kanjuali said the pump could be easily carried from one agriculture to another, thus ensuring an affordable system for direct farmers (DC) to alternately (AC).
This increases reliability and reduces overall costs, he added.
This solar pump can even be operated from a single phase grid supply too.
“This institution is willing to transfer technology to mass production by manufacturers with the possibility of subsidies,” the National Institute said in a statement issued on Monday.
RA Raja Kumar, Director of IIT Bhubaneswar, said the Institute concentrated on the development of technology that had high social, national and local relevance.
“Apart from the latest research and development, this institution also works on interior through innovative technology solutions,” he added.
The solar pump has been installed in 13 locations in various districts, including Angul, Dhenkanal, Puri, Bhadrak, Corruption, Keonjhar, Nayagarh and Mayurbukkanj.
It includes three systems for Podapada Village, Kanas on and Khudupup in Khurda.
IIT Bhubaneswar has adopted these villages under Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA).
In addition to 13 solar pumps, one has been installed at the Institute.
