The partnership leverages BharatRohan’s unique experience in hyperspectral imaging for crops, focusing on creating a spectral library to improve pest and disease detection in paddy and cotton crops

BharatRohan, a pioneer in providing hyperspectral imagining-enabled drone-based crop monitoring services, is excited to announce a co-innovation partnership with AgHub, the Agri-innovation hub of Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University(PJTSAU). This collaborative effort aims to promote a culture of co-innovation, collaboration, and co-creation, facilitating advancements through synergies between Agritech startups and agricultural scientists.

The partnership leverages BharatRohan’s unique experience in Hyperspectral Imaging for crops, focusing on creating a spectral library to improve pest and disease detection in paddy and cotton crops. This initiative is expected to significantly benefit farmers by potentially increasing yields through a reduction in losses caused by pests, such as the Brown Plant Hopper and Pink Bollworm, and diseases like rice blast and boll rot, by 20-30 per cent.

Amandeep Panwar, Co-founder of BharatRohan, commented on the partnership: “This partnership marks a significant milestone in our mission to empower farmers. Utilising hyperspectral technology, we aim to provide invaluable insights leading to healthier crops, reduced input costs, and enhanced yields. Our collaboration with AgHub and PJTSAU underscores our dedication to sustainable and prosperous agriculture.”

The collaboration leverages innovative hyperspectral imaging and advanced drone technology, setting a new benchmark in early detection and intervention for crop management. This integration is anticipated to lead to more sustainable farming practices and healthier crops.

The Millet Incubation Centre offers a diverse range of processing facilities, including primary and secondary millet processing, extrusion lines for vermicelli, pasta, and noodles, bakery lines, and a puffing line. This expansion aims to double the number of entrepreneurs benefiting from these facilities and promote the nutritional value and versatility of millets, such as Sorghum, Pearl millet, Finger Millet, Proso millet, Foxtail millet, Kodo millet, Little millet, and Barnyard Millet.

Millets, often referred to as ‘nutri-cereals’ or ‘Shree Anna,’ have garnered attention for their high nutritional content, including calcium, zinc, iron, and a low glycemic index. To meet the increasing demand for ready-to-eat, ready-to-cook, and ready-to-serve millet products, the Millet Incubation Centre introduces technology for value-added products like biscuits, pasta, noodles, and more under the brand “MILLET-PLUS.”

This event highlights the significance of millet on a global scale, addressing food security, nutrition, and climate resilience. It aligns with various government schemes, such as PMFME, PMKSY, and PLIS, aimed at boosting the food processing sector, with subsidies and support for micro-food processing enterprises.

All entrepreneurs, including millet-based and other food processing industries, are encouraged to actively participate in World Food India 2023. It provides a global platform to showcase unique products, innovations, and success stories while fostering networking, collaborations, and learning from global best practices.
