Farmers are backbone of India and they suffer many hurdles while growing crops. In post-harvesting steps, drying crops plays a major role in grain production. About 70% of the threshed grains are sun-dried in many regions. During sudden rains farmers face difficulty to cover the threshed grains and some of them die because of thunderstorm/lighting with this older methods. It necessitates to design a new system for these conditions instead of older methods. The aim of the project is to provide an innovative design for helping farmers from unseasonal rains easily. The newly modelled Rain Sensor Capsule for farmers, whose operation is compiled by the automatic rain sensor, wooden capsule, controllers and power conversion unit. The capsule is modelled in AutoCAD software package, then a prototype is fabricated and tested.
