ABSTRACT Agriculture is a source of livelihood of majority Indians and has great impact on the economy of the country. In a country like India, where climatic conditions vary substantially and irrigation facilities are poor. Agriculture is timely and sufficient supply of water. Water pumps are crucial in agriculture where electricity is indeed. The frequent, intermittent, low voltage supply of power to the agriculture sector has caused problems to the farmers who are spending their time monitoring the supply of power without which no progress of their work. The power supply with frequent power cuts have not only lowered the efficiency of farmers but also have led to the frustration of the farmer to give up agriculture and move to urban areas for better prospects in the globalized world. In this paper we presented a system which shows, how mobile communication can benefit millions of farmers in rural India by providing a solution for the irrigation problems caused by intermittent electrical power supply. Information is exchanged in form of messages/miscalls between the system and the user cell phones. The system is based on ATMEGA32 micro-controller and includes protection against fluctuations in power supply. For measuring time and temperature RTC DS1307 and DS18S20 are used. By using this system the hardships of farmers relating water distribution can be relieved. Keywords AT command supporting GSM mobile phone, ATMEGA32 Micro controller, Relays, Sensors, LCD for monitoring the current reading of all the parameters. 1. INTRODUCTION Even in the modern era of industrialization, agriculture plays a very significant role in the overall socio-economic development of India. India has an agriculture based economy. 43% of India‟s territory comes under agricultural lands. Agriculture along with other related fields like forestry and logging provides employment to 52% of India‟s population. Agriculture also accounts for 8.56% of the country‟s total exports. According to a survey made in 2007, agriculture accounts for 16.6% of India‟s Gross Domestic Product. Hence, it is agriculture that is the most influential field as compared to others in India. This importance on agriculture leads to an emphasis on better agricultural practices. The underground water level is slowly falling down and forests are being cut which reduces the rainfall as well. With increasing area available for cultivation and the need for increasing the productivity from the farm land, there is a growing need for
