The problem Kisan Seva solves

Farmers have tremendous importance in our society, and it is due to them
that we can fulfill our basic needs of food. Many times, due to poor or
negligent monitoring of soil health, they tend to face many losses due to a
drop in the quality of their crops. To minimize the laborious work on their end,
build an agricultural monitoring website/application. This will help the
farmers make informed decisions while farming and increase product yield
while maintaining the standard.
The website/application should be intuitive and easy to use with the
requirements in mind and should consider the cost and complexity of the IoT
components involved for ease in deployment over multiple regions.

Challenges we ran into

Hardware Issues
We weren’t able to finalize the hardware which would best suit our application. We tested different hardware and then finalized Raspberry Pi. This took some amount of time which could be used for other purposes.

Finding the appropriate APIs
We have used APIs for weather forecasting as well as multilingual language support. Selecting the appropriate APIS for the task was a challenge, there were many APIs available and each had its own challenges. We used the OpenWeatherMap API for the weather forecast and the i18n API for multilingual support.
