Abstract
Agriculture is the heart of India's economic activity and our experience during the last 60 years has demonstrated the strong relationship between agricultural growth and economic wealth. The present agricultural system is a mix of outstanding achievements and missed opportunities in India. If India want to become powerful economically in the world, our agricultural productivity should be equal to those countries, which are currently rated as economic power of the world. We need a new and emerging technology which can improve continuously the productivity, profitability, quality of our major farming systems. One such technology used in India is the greenhouse technology. Although it is centuries old, it is new to India. In India, dependence on agricultural productivity and geographical conditions contribute majors to underdevelopment and poverty. These can be achieved by alternative new and latest technology of farming such as hydroponics. The goal of this project is to design and construct a hydroponic system which is fully automatic that can be integrated into the agricultural curriculum while introducing business skills.
