Status of Farm Mechanization
in India
|
| Even though
farm mechanization shows an increasing trend, there are wide ranging
disparities in the levels of mechanization across states. Northern
States such as Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh (particularly Western
and Tarai belt) have achieved a faster growth in mechanization over
various Plans. The sale of other implements and machines like combine
harvesters, threshers and other power-operated equipment have been
increasing almost throughout the country. Mechanization in Western
and Southern states of the country viz., Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan
and certain areas of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh etc., has increased
with the increase in area under irrigation and also with the growing
awareness among farmers. |
