Design Development & Manufacturing of Rice Planting Machine

Mechanical Engineering

Agriculture is the most important sector of the Indian economy. This is the main source of employment, as most of the work is done in the country. Most of India's population is engaged in agriculture. This ratio is highest including the rice sector. Rice is the country's staple staple food. Freeing up jobs in sectors other than agriculture is important to the country's development. Mechanization has played an important role in freeing labor from rice production. Feeding a growing population is a huge challenge. Mechanization of the rice industry leads to higher productivity as workers are freed up in other industries. The objective of this project is to design a mechanism to transplant fields to rice transplanters for smallholder farmers across the country.
