What is the role of machinery and importance and scope of farm mechanization and its impact on agriculture in India?
Machines are used in all kinds of industries to carry out tasks that would take much longer for a human to do. Recent advancements in automation and robotics have made it possible to run entire factories with only automatic machines without the need for any human labour. Introduction of high yielding varieties of seeds and introduction of high dose of fertilizers and pesticides for different crops and multi cropping system and intensive cultivation, followed in different parts of the country.The level of mechanization has a significant positive impact on the cost, output value, and income and return rate of all types of crops. For every 1% increase in the level of mechanization, the yields of all crops, grain crops and cash crops increase by 1.2151, 1.5941 and 0.4351%, respectively. Machines generate more production with minor energy and within a limited time. Worker might be more dedicated to their work when they make use of machines. By increasing the productivity of all factors of production like land, labour, capital, etc., machines raise the overall production in the economy. It leads to the development of the industrial agricultural, tertiary and export sectors of the economy. It enhances productivity, besides reducing human drudgery and cost of cultivation. Mechanization also helps in improving utilization efficiency of other inputs, safety and comfort of the agricultural worker, improvements in the quality and value addition of the produce.
Machines can carry out our tasks in a faster, quicker, and more efficient way. There is a good scope of farm mechanization in India due to the factors: Improved irrigation facility in the country and introduction of high yielding varieties of seeds and introduction of high dose of fertilizers and pesticides for different crops. Introduction of high yielding varieties of seeds and introduction of high dose of fertilizers and pesticides for different crops, introduction of new crops in different parts of the country and multi cropping system and intensive cultivation, followed in different parts of the country. The level of mechanization has a significant positive impact on the cost, output value, and income and return rate of all types of crops. For every 1% increase in the level of mechanization, the yields of all crops, grain crops and cash crops increase by 1.2151, 1.5941 and 0.4351%, respectively. Agricultural mechanization is crucial in the agriculture sector as it contributes towards improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the inputs used in crop production thereby also increasing the productivity of crops. This also reduces the drudgery associated with various farm operations. The major benefits of farm mechanization are reduced requirement of human labour, fastening of agricultural operations and increased productivity and efficiency.
Efficient machinery can help in increasing productivity by 30%, by allowing farmers to raise second crop or multi crop. Increase in area under cultivation: Mechanization can help in increasing area under cultivation; a large amount of land can be cultivated in lesser amounts of time and efforts. There is a good scope of farm mechanization in India due to the factors: 1) Improved irrigation facility in the country. 2) Introduction of high yielding varieties of seeds. 3) Introduction of high dose of fertilizers and pesticides for different crop.

Mechanization also helps in improving utilization efficiency of other inputs, safety and comfort of the agricultural worker, improvements in the quality and value addition of the produce. Improvement in the cropping intensity and making agricultural land become commercially more viable. Cost of labour: The cost of deploying labour for agriculture operations is increasing substantially. Farm mechanization is the way to reduce labour cost and can reduce the cost of farming by 20 percent.
