SNS KASHMIR


Jammu, Mar 11: The Administrative Council (AC), which met here under the chairmanship of Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha, accorded approval to the construction of Jetty Bridge over river Jehlum in Baramulla at an estimated cost of Rs. 30 crore by Jammu and Kashmir Infrastructure Development Finance Corporation (JKIDFC).
JKIDFC will take over the project under languishing projects, under which it will construct a 262m, 5 span, double lane bridge over river Jehlum at Jetty Khwaja Bagh, Baramulla. The project will provide an alternate crossing over river Jehlum, by-passing the Baramulla town and will drastically reduce the intensity of traffic through the main town.
The bridge will connect a number of villages from the areas of Rafiabad, Handwara and Kupwara- the prominently food producing centres, and thus enhance economic activities in the region.[3/11, 7:52 PM] Karamat Qayoom: *J-K: Udhampur youth develops ‘drone device’ aimed at improving farm productivity*
Udhampur, March 11: A resident of Jammu and Kashmir’s Udhampur has developed a ‘drone device’ for farmers to improve yield using Artificial Intelligence and IoT sensors with an aim to modernise the agriculture sector.
Umang Kalra, who is a final year student of computer science at Pune, developed a drone and using that with the help of AI and IoT sensors, it can detect the problems in farms.
“Farmers face loss as they sometimes are unable to understand the problems in their field,” the developer Umang Kalra said.
Kalra said that earlier he developed many prototypes of such technology with his college batchmate.
“We discussed farmers’ problems and then I came with this affordable technology. It can help check moisture content, use of fertilizer and even predict yield,” Kalra said.
“The farmers will be motivated as this can increase their yield,” he added.
The drone captures the images of the field and the AI and IoT sensors detect problems such as the area with less moisture or the amount of pesticides to be used in the field.
