🧠 Problem Title: Sanchay-Rakshak: Smart Prevention of Food Grain Wastage in Local Storage
📝 Problem Description

India is the worlds second-largest producer of grains, yet we lose nearly 10% of our harvest—worth thousands of crores—due to poor storage conditions. In local village granaries and small warehouses, grains are stored in bags where moisture and heat build up silently., ​By the time a human notices the smell or fungus, the entire batch is ruined. There is currently no low-cost, real-time way for small-scale farmers or local storekeepers to "see" inside the grain piles to monitor the health of the crop. This leads to massive food loss and financial debt for farmers.
