Use of low frequency RFID to combat cattle rustling at Indian borders

This paper examines a viable solution to diminish the present trend of rustling and transporting of cattles from throughout India for trade, along the border between Indias West Bengal and Bangladesh. This paper describes how Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology can be designed and implemented to address this menace. The proposed system provides for tagging of individual cattle, identification and information management system supported by a centralized database management system and rapid communications. Upon Implementation, the proposed system allows identification of cattle details remotely, using low frequency RFID transceivers and tags along with GSM devices and modules for real time communication. This system will aid the BSF army men deployed in the region by providing a comprehensive framework to halt cattle smuggling across borders by providing the accurate details of the disputed cattles namely their owners details, District/Taluka, Breed, Age, Emergency contact number of the breeder etc, which provides the Army as well as breeder with secure and definitive system.
