Reflection:Visualization

Challenge and Selection:     Visualization is the tool which allows you to think about how your problem  solution will work in the actual environment. So, the tool of visualization  was selected to define and solve the problem. The approach of a  straw-man proposal is used which brainstormed a sample draft proposal  intended to the design and development of automated agricultural  equipment for sowing with generating discussion of its disadvantages and  to provoke the farmers and uplift them. I tried to provoke them with the  heading a campaign and picturing the collected data to get a clear idea of a  new approach to agriculture by adopting the innovative idea.      Application:    Before moving towards the problem I figured out some questions to be  asked for farmers And surveyed areas​ ​to​ ​collect the data about the  traditional types of equipment used by farmers. Along with the  questionnaire, I took photographs and picturised the data collected with the  help of different colours and using stickman diagrams. Farmers are  suffering a lot due to the use of traditional methods. They are spending  almost 3000INR per hectare only on labours. It was observed that the  labour is not working uniformly and efficiently which in turn causes loss to  the farmer.  If farmers adopted the new innovative method of agriculture for sowing the  seeds they can save half of the amount at every sowing they do also along  with our team has worked on the provision to spray insecticide after  complete sowing of each seed. It's just a one-time investment and will work  for years.

For this activity to be carried I have developed an idea to gather the farmer  and inform them how they should implement the modern approach by using  the equipment for sowing the seed. How will they earn more profit by using  our technique? I have an idea of a prototype and working on it and  explaining them with the help of a picture will work a lot. Firstly carry this  activity for 4-5 farmers and others will get motivated by the result.      Insight and approach:    The things which I learnt by performing tools is that the graphic/picturised  information is more understandable than that of providing information  orally. With the help of such an approach and use of the tool, farmers can  uplift their current situation and take a stake over the market by becoming  self relied on. Also, come they have various problems and this is one  solution one can identify.   Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and  learning, next time I would use the visualization activity as a core point for a  series of design thinking activities. Then the revised graphic that  incorporates their combined feedback can serve as a reference tool  throughout the remainder of the work.
