Telangana: Engineers Urged To Develop Tools For Dryland Farming · deccanchronicle.com

Scientists and engineers met in Hyderabad for three days to talk about how computers and smart machines can help make farming and medicine better.

They want to build special tools that work well in dry places where there is not much water, like many parts of India.

A leader from a research institute for dry areas said engineers should make tools just for Indian farms.

Other experts talked about using smart machines to make medicines more accurate and help farmers grow more food.

The meeting also included talks about keeping the environment clean and using energy from the sun and wind.

People who start new companies got advice on how to share their ideas with the world.

A leader said Hyderabad is a great city for companies that work with biology and medicine.

Everyone agreed that new science should help people without hurting the planet.

The meeting ended on Wednesday after three busy days.
