Women friendly Multipurpose Agriculture Machinehine

Problems of the farmer during the cultivation process.

1. In spite of the large scale mechanisation of agriculture in some parts of the country, most of the agricultural operations in larger parts are carried on by human hand, using simple and conventional tools and implements like wooden plough, sickle, etc.
2. Small sized land holders in India cannot afford to purchase automated or larger machines to perform various operations of agriculture.
3. They depend on labourers and animals for all these activities that deprive them from improvising the efficiency, productivity and rapidity of their produce.

The proposed solution

1. Partial mechanization can be a potential solution to the issue where only a part of the farm work is done by machine.
2. This project aims to reduce the drudgery of labourers and animals in operations like mulching, spraying pesticides, spraying fertilizers, weeding and sowing seeds by utilizing a completely simple mechanical multi-purpose agriculture machine.
3. The machine built is intended to reduce the labour and animal cost, increase the yield of the produce, reduce wastage of seeds, pesticides and fertilizers and thereby enhance the overall productivity.
4. As a farmer of Odisha I am enthusiastic and committed to contribute in improving the standard of living of my fellow farmers and provide jobs to young men and women.

The following operations can be performed using this machine in small land as well as step cultivated land in hilly areas:-

1. Seed Drilling
2. Fertilizer spraying
3. Pesticide spraying
4. Mulchinging
5. Weeding
