🎉 Proud to Share an Exciting Milestone!
I am delighted to share that our project, “Saha Store: A Low-Cost Modular Storage & Warehousing System for Smallholder Farmers,” has been selected among the Top 500 projects in Niral Thiruvizha 3.0, a prestigious innovation initiative organized by the Government of Tamil Nadu.
As part of this achievement, we had the privilege of presenting our project at Anna University Regional Campus, Madurai. It was an incredible opportunity to demonstrate our working prototype, interact with the evaluation panel, and receive valuable feedback from experts and fellow innovators.
🌱 About the Project
Saha Store is an affordable, IoT-enabled modular storage and warehousing solution designed to reduce post-harvest losses and improve the storage of agricultural produce for smallholder farmers. The system integrates three specialized modules:
❄️ Cold Storage Unit – Maintains an optimal low-temperature environment to extend the shelf life of perishable crops.
🌬️ Dry Ventilated Storage Unit – Continuously monitors temperature, humidity, and gas concentration while automatically controlling ventilation to maintain ideal storage conditions.
☀️ Solar-Electric Dryer Unit – Converts spoilage-prone agricultural produce into dried products, helping farmers reduce waste while creating value-added products.
💡 Key Features
✅ Real-time IoT monitoring using ESP32
✅ Mobile and Web dashboard for live environmental monitoring
✅ Inventory management system for tracking stock usage and availability
✅ Automated environmental control based on sensor data
✅ Low-cost, modular, and scalable design suitable for smallholder farmers
Being recognized among the Top 500 projects is a significant milestone in our journey. Presenting our work at Anna University Regional Campus, Madurai was an enriching experience that strengthened our confidence, enhanced our technical knowledge, and inspired us to continue developing impactful engineering solutions for agriculture.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our respected mentor Dr. Prathiba Thanasegaran for their constant guidance, valuable technical insights, and unwavering encouragement throughout every stage of this project. Their mentorship played a vital role in transforming our idea into a successful working solution.
I also extend my heartfelt thanks to our faculty members, project teammates M. Bala Kavinnesh KAVINESH A , and the organizers of Niral Thiruvizha 3.0 for providing us with this wonderful platform to showcase our innovation.
This achievement motivates us to continue learning, innovating, and building technology-driven solutions that create a positive impact on agriculture and society.
