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.
