Abstract

India is the 2nd biggest country in the world on the parameter of population and more than 50% of population engaged in agricultural practices. Agricultural mechanisation entails the use of farm equipment & implements and power sources in order to reduce draft animal and human labour, enhance cropping intensity, precision, and timeliness of crop input utilisation, and diminish damages at various phases of crop production. Thus the ultimate goal of mechanization's is to increase overall productivity and production at the lowest possible cost and without amplifies the human inconvenience. The Green Revolution in India is considered as one of the greatest attainment of the 20th century in promoting agricultural mechanisation in enhancing production. The main objective of this paper is to identify the influence of agriculture mechanization in India majorly after green revolution. A huge boost in farm power availability, food production, and economics has resulted from agricultural mechanis

Conclusion

To sum up, farm mechanisation enhanced agricultural production and profitability by increasing the speed with which tasks were completed, the quality of the job performed, and the efficient use of crop inputs. Farm mechanisation, without a doubt, displaced animal power by 60 to 100%. As a result of the manufacture, maintenance, servicing, and sales of tractors, mechanisation increased human labour employment for on-farm and off-farm activities, and improved productivity Agricultural mechanization led India towards, growth of food production, food power availability and has a remarkable impact on Indian Economy. It leads towards quality and quantity of agricultural production and productivity. Various equipment and methods has been introduced to enhance the yield. Numerous employments are provided in several agricultural industries such as management and supervisory employments on the one hand and driving, servicing, repairing of the machines on the other. Many farmers received subsidy
