Bhu-Vision: The Cutting-Edge Soil Testing Solution
At the heart of this ambitious project lies the remarkable Bhu-Vision soil testing equipment. Manufactured by Himedia Labs and co-developed by KrishiTantra in collaboration with ICAR-IIRR, Bhu-Vision represents a hallmark of Indian innovation. This state-of-the-art technology brings efficient and cost-effective soil testing solutions to the fingertips of Indian farmers. Its advanced IoT capabilities promise to revolutionize soil testing in the country, providing benefits across various sectors. 

Melind Deshpande, Founder and CEO of BhoomiSeva, delivered an impactful and thought-provoking address during the program. He highlighted the transformative partnership with AIOCD, which focuses on the promotion of soil tests through a network of 12.5 lakh chemist shops across the nation. He emphasized the pivotal role these chemists play as brand ambassadors of AIOCD in this vital initiative, embodying trust and credibility within the ecosystem, making them indispensable contributors.

Deshpande presented a three-tiered approach that seeks support from diverse segments of the population, under the themes "My Country, My Soil" for NRIs, "My Soil, My Village" for HNIs, and "My Soil, My People" for urban citizens. His explanation resonated with the reality that many individuals have their roots in villages, and each person can contribute, according to their capacity, by donating a machine, a test, or a kit consisting of seeds and fertilizers.

During the launch, Deshpande delved into the concept of Personal Social Responsibility (PSR), extending a warm invitation to citizens to participate in this movement by contributing soil tests to farmers. This altruistic act serves a dual purpose: the advancement of the nation's agriculture and the individual benefit of consuming chemical-residue-free food.
