A resilient, AI-powered environmental monitoring network that provides early detection, localized intelligence, and actionable alerts for floods, forest fires, pollution events, and other environmental hazards common in India, enabling authorities and communities to shift from reactive disaster response to proactive risk prevention.

Source summary

Develop a distributed environmental sensor network with local AI for flood, fire, pollution, heat, landslide and industrial-risk warnings. Use solar-powered low-maintenance nodes, transmitting critical alerts/summaries rather than requiring continuous cloud access. Combine geospatial risk maps, severity/confidence-based citizen/authority alerts and central longer-term analytics. Support modular village-to-state scaling and suitable IoT communications such as LoRaWAN or NB-IoT. Different environmental sensors are proposed; detection and prevention benefits need validation.
