Farmer Vishal's Indigenous Tech Irrigates 10 Acres with a Button Push

• Jharkhand farmer Vishal developed a low-cost, high-tech irrigation system for his 10-acre farm, cultivating papaya and guava.
• He built a 10x7 ft concrete tank fed by two borewells, from which a pressure motor distributes water through pipes.
• A network of pipes with small holes delivers water directly to plant roots, ensuring efficient use and minimal waste.
• The system features a unique 'lock system' (valves) for each bed, allowing Vishal to selectively irrigate specific sections with ease.
• This indigenous solution avoids expensive drip irrigation or foreign equipment, showcasing local ingenuity and inspiring other farmers.

Why It Matters: Vishal's indigenous irrigation system proves high-tech farming is possible with local ingenuity, saving cost and effort.
