India's first industrial design of a solar-powered hyacinth harvester developed by scientists at the International Institute of Semi-Arid Tropical Crops Research (ICRISAT) has been approved.
According to ICRISAT, the harvester is simple and inexpensive. It can be easily operated by semi-skilled or unskilled workers.
This solar power device has been designed and manufactured indigenously. In terms of prioritizing clean energy, this device reduces savings, time and labor by 50 to 60 percent.
