Abstract	Agriculture has always been one of the most important economic activities in India. Almost 50% of the Indian population depends on it for a living. It not only feeds more than a billion people, but it is also a primary source of raw materials for industries, a source of foreign exchange and a significant source of employment. Yet Indian farming is highly sensitive and fragile. Farmers always have to deal with water shortages, uneven rainfall, increased input prices, and a declining workforce. Crop diseases and pests are typically noticed only after the damage is already done, which leads to heavy losses in yield, wastage of precious water, and a direct hit on the farmer's income. It is not merely a question of more, but smarter--with less, preserving the environment, and ensuring that the soil is healthy even in the future. Precision farming has new opportunities in recent years due to the Internet of Things (IoT) and agricultural robotics. The sensors installed over the field are now capable of constantly monitoring soil moisture, temperature and humidity and relaying this information to the farmer. This implies that the farmer does not need to walk the whole field daily to monitor the situation; rather, real-time information is available at hand, allowing smarter decisions about when and where to water. The outcome is the saving of water and labor, as well as a healthier crop. IoT is simply taking farming out of guesswork and making it data-driven, and it is this concept that is the basis of our project. Based on this concept, we present the SANRAKSHAK AGRIBOT — a single, affordable robotic platform designed to monitor and protect the field with minimal human effort. The aim of our system is simple: to give every farmer a reliable assistant that monitors the crop and soil at all times, broadcasts live video so that it can be inspected remotely, and waters the crop automatically when the soil becomes dry. The integration of monitoring and care into a single platform will enable us to minimize water consumption, decrease labor requirements, and enhance crop yields—at a price that can be afforded by a small farmer. The concept and purpose of the system have been presented in this paper, and the in-depth architecture and the components are described in subsequent sections.
