Making the world as a better
place to live

Small Scale Wind Turbine Generator Optimized for low Wind Speed


Researchers developed wind turbine generator specifically for low wind speed sites. The turbine is also designed for low cost using simple to manufacture parts. The rising cost of using Electricity and using natural sources of energy is need of an hour. This technology will not only serve as alternative source of energy but can be opted for regular usage.



Adoption of artificial intelligence for management of potato disease


The project concentrates on integrated and collaborative platform for automated disease diagnosis, tracking and forecasting. Farmers can instantly and accurately identify diseases and get solutions with a mobile app by photographing affected plant parts. Therefore, we aim to deploy artificial intelligence based models, and algorithm for precise and early detection of potato diseases in Punjab. These algorithms explore global optimal parameters as a data intelligent tool for early and precise detection of farmer’s problems.
