The machine automatically stops working when the water level is low.
Shailendra’s main achievement in making such a device is that there is no need to switch on and off the pump every time before or after use.
Our world is getting introduced to better and more advanced technologies every day. These technological advancements have made our life easier. But the availability of such scientific innovations is found more in urban areas than in rural areas. In villages, people are still not well equipped with the concept of digital progress. Though the government is taking appropriate steps to enable the villagers to become aware of the new technologies, there is still a long way to go. Using scientific development as his weapon, a farmer’s son in Madhya Pradesh’s Bairad village has taken it upon himself to solve the problem of frequent motor breakdowns.
Shailendra Dhakad, a resident of Bairad village of Shivpuri district, has made a water auto-cut machine. He claimed that farmers working in the fields of his village often face the problem of motor breakdown. When the submersible pump is run without water, the government projects also get stalled due to repeated failure of the pump.
But with Shailendra’s new invention, the machine will automatically stop working when the water level gets low. This will allow other farmers to take notice and refill the machine with water. As soon as the water reaches its desired level, the machine will automatically start working again. The pump will not work at all when the water level is zero.
Shailendra’s main achievement in making such a device is that there is no need to switch on and off the pump every time before or after use. The frequent switching of the pump wears out the device after a few uses. With the invention of young talents, farmers can use the pumping machine well for a long period of time, without delaying important projects.
Despite such a great innovation, Shailendra is finding it difficult to raise money for and launch his pumping machine. He is trying to help other farmers through his invention but fails due to lack of funds. He said that he went to various Krishi Vigyan Kendras as well as other engineering colleges but in vain.
Shailendra claimed that he was from a poor family due to which he was unable to launch a product or get a patent in his name. Although it takes Rs 600 to Rs 800 to make a pump, there is no way he can fund it. At present, Shailendra is taking the help of public representatives to work on his plan.
