Introduction
The transportation of food gunny bags within India
has traditionally been facilitated through manual
labor, a method that not only incurs substantial costs
but is also characterized by time-consuming
processes. Moreover, the utilization of laborers has
far-reaching implications on both the societal and
economic fronts, impacting various aspects of the
social fabric and economic dynamics.

Problem Statement Addressing

Solution Demo

Three mechanisms have been used in the model for translation, lifting
and pushing the grain bags to the destination.
• For translation of vehicle, we are trying to use wireless signal
transmission as generally used in remote control model along with
steering of wheels.
• For lifting the food grains, we will use hydraulic lift mechanism using
incompressibility of fluid.
• For pushing the grain packets to its destined location, we are
using conveyer belt.
