==Usage==
In some parts of India, farmers have to walk several kilometers to turn on the irrigation pumps that water their fields. With the electrical supply often erratic, they sometimes find that there is no electricity when they reach the pump. Nano Ganesh allows them to remotely check the availability of electricity, and to remotely turn the pump on and off, all through a mobile phone.<ref name="Computerworld"/> It helps the farmers to easily access the remote water pumps avoiding exhaustive long travel over difficult terrain, bad weather, and hazardous locations.<ref name="Ossian">{{cite web|url=http://www.nanoganesh.com/html/nano%20ganesh%20-%20product.html |title=Nano Ganesh |work=Ossian Agro Automation website |access-date=2009-08-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090710004720/http://www.nanoganesh.com/html/nano%20ganesh%20-%20product.html |archive-date=July 10, 2009 }}</ref> It also means growers don't have to wake up in the middle of the night, which is often the time electricity is available, to walk the long distances to their fields. They sometimes hire workers to walk the long distances to turn the pumps on and off.<ref name="TimesofIndia">{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Pune/A_Nano_to_make_farmers_life_easier/articleshow/4090475.cms|title=A Nano to make farmers' life easier|last=Athavale|first=Dileep|date=2009-02-07|work=Times of India|access-date=2009-08-08}}</ref>

==Technical specifications==
The application comprises an electronic hardware (modem) with a basic mobile connection and an external feature phone, that attaches to the starter on the irrigation pump (Latest models do not need external mobile phones). Using the regular mobile phone, the farmer can switch on or off the water pump by text message or active calling with an assigned code number for on and off, and acknowledges the status of the power or pump by a particular tone signals as well as text messages.<ref name=":0" /> Another version of Nano Ganesh is M2M based in which preset water levels in the overhead tanks are sensed by the magnetic float sensors whose signals are passed to the GSM based Nano Ganesh transmitter which sends the wireless commands of water levels to be displayed on the mobile phone. This allows the water operator to avoid climbing up the dangerous steps of risky overhead tanks for checking water levels and also avoid travels to the distant pumps. This helps to efficiently control the water pump to avoid overflowing of the water.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Industrial Automation|date=October 2015|title=Mobile and wireless monitoring of water tanks in rural water supply systems.|url=http://www.nanoganesh.com/Download_Files/Industrial%20Automation%20.pdf|journal=Industrial Automation}}</ref> Another Nano Ganesh modem is also available to alert the owner on mobile phone when there is a theft attempt of the modem, cable, or the pump itself.<ref>{{Cite report|date=March 2015|title=Agricultural machine-to-machine (Agri M2M): a platform for xpansion|url=https://www.gsmaintelligence.com/research/?file=9186f77efc0a47fe7f127d79d789c64c&download|publisher=GSMA Intelligence|pages=15–16}}</ref>
