Agricultural Machinery In The Field

India is called an agricultural country because 70 percent of its population depends upon agriculture in one way or the other. The concept or method of farming has changed a lot with the time. In the 90s, the farmer used to do farming with the help of animals but now he cultivates with the help of machines and equipment.

As a result, modern agriculture is referred to as mechanized agriculture. Tractor, reaper binder, automatic reaper, rice transplanter, rotavator, and other sophisticated farming devices are currently available. The Tractor, however, is the most popular among them, as it is utilized by practically all farmers.

The state and central governments have provided grants or subsidies on the purchase of these machines to boost agriculture from time to time. In Madhya Pradesh, the government is running a scheme for farmers. Krishi Yantra Anudaan is the name of the scheme. Subsidies on agricultural machinery are provided to farmers in Madhya Pradesh under this arrangement. This program operates on a first-come, first-served basis.
