Mechanizing the Complete Value Chain
No full textFundamental Aspects: Short-term focus (by 2030): Access and affordability of basic mechanization, precision agriculture pilots, innovative financing models, and rural skilling initiatives. Long-term focus (by 2047): Widespread automation and autonomy, electrification, digital twin farming, climate-smart integration, and establishing global leadership in Agri-robotics
Technology for Sustainability
No full textIntroduction The production and productivity in Indian agriculture cannot be enhanced by primitive and traditional practices of farming. The average farm size in India is small (1.08 ha) and small and marginal land holdings (less than 2.0 ha) account for 86% of land holdings. The population dynamics shows that by the year 2047, the population of agricultural workers in the country will be about 202 million (26% of total workers) of which 60% will be the female workers. With continued shrinkage in average farm size, more farms will fall into the adverse category thereby making individual ownership of agricultural machinery progressively more uneconomical
Pioneering Agri- Mechanization Hurdles & Pathways to Farmers Empowerment by 2047
No full textIndia pathway toward becoming a developed nation by 2047, just hundred years after independence, agriculture must transform from a labor-intensive sector to a automated engine of growth. Agri mechanisation and automation, can revolutionize how we sow, grow, and harvest. This transformation is not just a possibility, it is a necessity to ensure food security, climate resilience and farmer prosperity in the decades ahead. To become a developed India there is an urgent need for Agri Mechanisation and Automation. India’s agriculture still relies heavily on manual labor and therefore sometimes results into low productivity, increased drudgery, especially for women and elderly farmers, rising input costs and labor shortages and delayed operations due to climatic variability
Advancing Agricultural Mechanisation for a Viksit Bharat: Integrating Innovation, Inclusivity, and Sustainability
No full textIntroduction Agriculture remains central to India’s economy, employing 46% of the workforce and accounting 20% of the country’s GDP. It must support a growing population on limited land, while also improving rural incomes and sustainability. Modern agricultural mechanisation, the substitution of human and animal labour by machines at all stages of farming, is therefore critical to India’s development. Historically, Indian farmers used manual tools and animaldrawn ploughs; only in the post-Green Revolution era did mechanisation begin in earnest. Today, India is one of the world’s largest farm-machine markets valued at US25.15 billion by 2029, reflecting rising demand as incomes and cropping intensity grow. Yet only about half of farm operations are mechanised, far below levels in many countries. Addressing this gap is a policy priority under the “Viksit Bharat” vision: improved mechanisation can raise yields, reduce drudgery, use inputs more efficiently, and boost farmers’ incomes
Energizing Agriculture with Renewables
No full textAgriculture has always been the backbone of the Indian economy, employing nearly half the population and sustaining rural livelihoods. However, conventional agricultural practices are heavily dependent on fossil fuels for irrigation, mechanization, fertilizer production, and transportation. The volatility in fuel prices and the environmental costs associated with fossil energy have exposed vulnerabilities in the agricultural value chain. The transition to renewable energy is, therefore, not just an environmental imperative but also a socio-economic necessity. Renewable energy represents a new paradigm for agricultural growth — enabling energy self-reliance, enhancing productivity, and fostering sustainable rural development. The Energy–Agriculture Nexus Energy and agriculture are interdependent systems. Energy drives modern agriculture — from land preparation and irrigation to postharvest processing and cold storage. Conversely, agriculture provides biomass and bio-waste that can be converted into valuable forms of energy. This symbiotic relationship is the foundation of a sustainable bioeconomy

Electrohydraulic Control System in Agricultural Tractor – A Brief Review
No full textAn increasing demand for efficiency, productivity, and sustainability in modern agriculture has driven the adoption of automation and precision technologies in agricultural tractors. Electrohydraulic control system enhances the performance of tractors through application of electronics and instrumentation. It can control depth, slip, and draft from a single window. This review paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the current state of research on electro-hydraulic control systems in automated agricultural tractors. A systematic literature review was conducted across major academic databases, focusing on studies related to depth control, slip control, draft sensing, integrated control systems, and overall tractor performance optimization through hydraulic actuation. This kind of system was able to measure the depth of operation, wheel slip, and draft of mounted implements. Furthermore, tractor\u27s hydraulic control system has achieved a high level of dependability via accurate and precise control of electrohydraulic system and intelligent application of a novel control algorithm
