On the occasion of Hareli, farmers got a gift for easy agriculture at low cost,
launched during the exhibition in Karsa

Raipur, 28 July 2022.।Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on the occasion of Hareli Tihar today launched two types of agricultural machines which make agriculture work easier. The Chief Minister launched the animal operated battery operated cultivator and planter at an agricultural exhibition organized in village Karsa of Patan, development block of Durg district. According to agricultural experts, the use of these machines will reduce the time taken by the farmers in agricultural work as well as reduce the cost. On the other hand, the use of battery operated cultivators and planters will also reduce the burden on animals. With the use of battery-cum-motor, the cattle need less force to pull the machine, which will reduce fatigue to the cattle. Both these agricultural machines have been made by the scientists of the College of Agricultural Engineering running under Indira Gandhi Agricultural University. Agriculture Advisor to the Chief Minister Shri Pradeep Sharma has had special guidance for making these machines. The Vice Chancellor of Indira Gandhi Agricultural University, Dr. Girish Chandel was also present on the occasion of the launch of these machines.
