    Farm Mechanization
    Aims at

    Increasing productivity of land and labor


    Bringing in more area under cultivation
    Conserving energy and resources
    Sustaining agricultural production
    Improving operators comfort and safety
    Protecting environment
    Increasing farm profits

    Farm Mechanization
    National Perspective

    Practicing selective mechanization


    Mechanized operation for which there
    was shortage of labor, power or both
    Popular forms of mechanization are:

    Bulldozers
    Power rigs
    Tractors with cultivator, wheat thresher & sprayer
    Tube wells
