Farm Mechanisation, Productivity, Resource Optimisation, Sustainability, Technological AdvancementsAbstract
Farm mechanisation presents substantial transformative power to modernise Indian agriculture through productivity enhancement alongside resource optimisation along sustainable practice promotion. Through mechanisation farmers gain more efficient processes while the system promotes both crop diversity and gives rural youth chances to find jobs. Government initiatives, which include both subsidies and digital procurement platforms, serve as fundamental tools to enhance the availability of machinery at reduced prices. Mechanical power applications have gained substantial momentum in recent times but the sectors of harvesting and threshing require additional development. Future agricultural expansion depends on the combination of three technological progress factors, which involve precision farming and AI with IoT and eco-friendly innovations. The fulfilment of mechanisation benefits depends on solving problems pertaining to expensive equipment and fragmented pieces of land. India will reach a successful, sustainable agricultural future through the combination of holistic approaches with advanced technology and sustainability practices.
