Our system uses IoT and AI to map rare herbs like Jatamansi and superfruits across Nainital's diverse landscapes — a vital tool for conservation and science.
The Smart Sensor Mapping System is a pioneering initiative to protect Uttarakhand's rare and endangered medicinal plants and wild fruits using cutting-edge IoT and Artificial Intelligence technology.
Uttarakhand, known as the 'Land of Gods' and a 'Natural Pharmacy,' hosts over 1,748 species of medicinal plants. However, many are now classified as rare or endangered due to over-harvesting and climate change.
Our system provides real-time monitoring, GPS tracking, and AI-powered identification to ensure these treasures are documented, protected, and sustainably managed for future generations.

To deploy smart IoT sensors and AI-powered tools that map, monitor, and protect Uttarakhand's rare medicinal herbs and wild fruits — ensuring their survival for future generations.
A Uttarakhand where every rare herb and wild fruit is scientifically documented, geographically mapped, and actively protected through technology-enabled conservation.
Scientific integrity, community collaboration, sustainable practices, and the belief that technology and nature can coexist to create a healthier, more biodiverse planet.
Nainital district has been selected for the pilot implementation owing to its diverse altitude range — from the plains of Haldwani (400m) to the high peaks of Mukteshwar (2,300m).
Deploy IoT-based smart sensors across selected forest regions in Nainital district
Map geolocation, growth patterns, and environmental conditions of rare herbs
Create a real-time digital herbarium using mobile and web-based platforms
Use pilot learnings to expand the system to all districts of Uttarakhand
