- (a) & (b ): Agricultural  implements  and  machinery  are  essential  inputs  for  modern agriculture.  It  enhances  productivity,  besides  reducing  human  drudgery  and  cost  of cultivation. It also helps in improving utilization efficiency of other inputs.

Taking  into  consideration  the  above,  Department  of  Agriculture,  Cooperation  & Farmers  welfare  (DAC&FW)  has  introduced  a  dedicated  Sub  Mission  on  Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM) w.e.f. 2014-15 under which financial assistance is provided for various  types  of  Agricultural  implements  and  machinery  used  for  tillage  ,  sowing  , planting , harvesting , reaping , threshing , plant protection, inter cultivation and residue management.

Under SMAM, lot of initiatives are taken by Government for boosting mechanization.  The  SMAM  scheme  aims  at  'reaching  the  unreached'  by  giving  more focus  to  the  small  and  marginal  farmers,  Promoting  'Custom  Hiring  Centers',  creating hubs for hi-tech & high value farm equipments especially in the regions where availability of  farm  power  is  low,  creating  awareness  among  stakeholders  through  demonstration and  capacity  building  activities,  and  ensuring  performance-  testing  and  certification  at designated testing centers located all over the country.

During the period 2014-15  to 2018-19  the Government's  initiatives under agricultural mechanization, under SMAM scheme, total 58303 numbers of demonstrations  conducted  ,  40033  numbers  of  trainees  trained  ,  962528  numbers  of various agricultural machinery distributed and 13899 numbers of Custom Hiring Centers established.

A special Scheme to support the efforts of the Governments of Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and the NCT of Delhi to address air pollution due to stubble burning and to subsidize  machinery  for  the  farmers  for  in-situ  management  of  crop  residue,  a  new Central Sector Scheme  on 'Promotion of Agricultural Mechanization for In-Situ Management of Crop Residue in the States of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and NCT of Delhi' (CRM) for the period from 2018-19 to 2019-20 has been also launched. Under this  scheme,  during  2018-19,  demonstrations  conducted  in  18555  acres  area,  22525 numbers  of trainees trained ,  32831  numbers  of  various agricultural  machinery distributed and 7444 numbers of Custom Hiring Centers established.

The farm mechanization component is also available under various schemes like Mission  for  Integrated  Development  of  Horticulture  (MIDH)  ,  National  Food  Security Mission  (NFSM)    and  National  Mission  on  Oilseeds  and  Oil  Palm  (NMOOP)  and Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY).

ICAR-CIAE (Central Institute of Agricultural Engineering) Bhopal and its Regional Centre,  Coimbatore  and  centres  of  AICRP  (All  India  Coordinated  Research  Project  ) have developed cost effective, labour saving equipment and are commercially available for  accomplishing different  agricultural operations  which  have  potential for  reduction  in overall cost of cultivation.

The details of State-wise funds released under SMAM , CRM, MIDH , NFSM and NMOOP is enclosed as an Annexure-I , II , III , IV and  V respectively.

The  details  of  State-wise  number  of  agricultural  mechanization  related  project sanctioned and cost of the its projects under RKVY is enclosed at Annexure VI.
