The Mooh Sense (Cow Health Monitoring System) AI-powered livestock management system monitors animal behavior, movement, and temperature, providing farmers with real-time insights on their mobile phones. Deployed in Punjab, including at GADVASU in Ludhiana, it was developed with NABARD support. AWaDH’s Nano bubble Technology uses electrochemically active nano bubbles to treat water by degrading organic matter, eliminating pathogens, and oxidizing harmful chemicals. This technology is already in use in ponds and reservoirs across Punjab. Additionally, AWaDH’s Soil Health Monitoring System evaluates soil quality using sensors and lab analysis, helping farmers optimize crop management
