Sensor Networks to Monitor Quality of Rural Life

Abstract

The rural area in India has 68.84% population as compared to the 31.16% urban population. Agriculture is the main source of income in rural areas of India. Animals like cow, buffalo, sheep, goat etc play a significant role in lives of rural India. They are used as a source of income. Hence animal husbandry becomes a major concern. This report discusses the issues and concerns related to the health of animals with respect to the rural areas of Himachal Pradesh based on the survey done by us. After discovering the concern we have proposed possible solution for the said issues. The solution uses the upcoming technology of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). It shows how the upcoming technology can be integrated seamlessly in the rural environment to improve and uplift the life style of people staying in rural area of Himachal Pradesh. Then this report tries to analyse the trend of health issues in livestock and then based on that it tries and give a prediction of health issues that the cattle may face in near future. It takes into consideration various indices like THI to look after the health of cattle. Also a comparative study was done to decide the language for coding the given problem statement and details of which the following report contains.
