Khethi Rakshak |
Before the
beginning of every farm season, most farmers prefer to plan potential yields.
Farmers are often presented with various challenges and obstacles that require
them to constantly question their productivity and resulting final success. The
greatest importance is usually given to crop protection from diseases, inspect
pests and weeds as well as to protection from unfavorable weather events such
as hail along with other crop maintenance practices and also farmers facing
another interesting challenge i.e. wild animal crop protection
Wild animals are a
special challenge for farmers through the world. Animals such as cows,
buffaloes, nilgais, pigs, dear, wild boars, rabbits, moles, elephants, monkeys
and many others may cause serious damage to crops and they can damage the
plants by feeding on plant parts or simply by running over the field and
tramping over the crops. Therefore, wild animals may easily cause significant
yield losses and provoke additional financial problems. Crop vandalization (the
problem of wild animal attacks on crop fields) is becoming a common phenomenon
in the state of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and many
other state
Do you suffer from
these problems? Gamyam Technologies and Prof. Jayashankar Telangana state
Agriculture University has introduces the “Khethi Rakshak” to minimise the human – wildlife
conflict using Acoustic & Information Technology.
Khethi Rakshak is a machine 2 machine
communication device. The system is very adaptive to nature and we are using
advanced machine 2 machine learning techniques in this system it is a perfect
solution for these problems.
The bio-acoustics
technology uses only natural sounds of predators, distress and alarm calls of
target and closely related species of target animals. The calls are broadcast
in a field by using an electronic platform with sound drives. Bio-acoustics
tries to convey the message ‘this area is dangerous’ to the target animals in
their own language. On hearing the sounds, the target animals start avoiding
the area, thus saving the crop from being damaged. The sounds are natural and
safe on humans, birds and animals.
Khethi Rakshak
system is very effective in driving-off the animals from the fields. The device
automatically get switch on based on the system time or can be switched on
manually using smart phone. With one time charging of the device for 4-6 hours,
the device works approx. 14 hours.
The device can be
charged through 230Volts AC power or when there is no source of AC power to the
farmer in the field can charge the device using 12V Solar panel. The device is
equipped with Lithium-ion battery, with 14 hours of power backup with one charge.
The device works on Single phase or three phase power.

1. Bio
acoustic is a new technology uses only natural sounds of predators, distress
and alarm calls of target and closely related species of target animals .
2. The
calls are broadcasted using electronic platform with sound drives.
3. On
hearing the sounds, the target animals start avoiding the area.
4. The
sounds are natural and safe on humans, birds and animals.
5. Equipment
produces fixed volume of 110 dB
6. Covers
an area of 8-10 acres
7. At
37 dB of ambient noise, equipment cover up to 19 acres
8. 92%
effective in dispersing wild animals and birds from cropped area
Benefits of using Khethi Rakshak
1. Cost
Effective: Onetime investment to maximize yield of the corps.
2. Economic
benefit
3. Eco
friendly & Easy to use
4. Not
killing of wild animals saving the farmer agony
5. Reduction
in man animal conflict
