From the Director’s Desk Mechanization of agriculture is an essential input to the modern

Agriculture. It enhances production and productivity besides

Reducing human drudgery and cost of cultivation. Mechanization

also helps in improving utilization efficiencies of other inputs,

safety and comfort of the farm workers and farmers; It improves

the quality and contributes for value addition of the produce.

The Central Farm Machinery Training and Testing Institute,

Budni is a premier institute under the M&T division of the Dept. of Agril. & cooperation,

Ministry of Agriculture, GOI, Functioning since 1955, keeping space with the changing

needs of the farm mechanization, taking a different shape to compete with global

changes by harmonizing with the global standards so that Indian tractor and other

agricultural machinery have easy access not only to developing Asian and African

countries but also to European and U.S. market. The Institute is the only official tractor

testing agency of Government of India and also designated as one of the agencies for

testing of tractors and allied agricultural machines for CMV rules conformance test. It is

the participating member of the OECD for carrying out the official test in accordance

with OECD standard test codes.

The institute conducts different Training Programmes on working principle, operation,

adjustment, service, repair, maintenance, etc for progressive farmers, technicians,

engineers, Govt. in-service personal’s, private company employees, foreign nationals,

farm women etc. for skill development, increased output, improved quality of products

and services, less waste - time, money, materials, people, better utilization of resources

and fewer accidents.

The institute also conducts the demonstration of advance agricultural machinery at

farmers’ field to accelerate the adoption of modern agricultural machinery. It gives

immense to pleasure to release this News Letter to update the information in support for the

Cause of mechanization and in the service of thefarmers as well as various stake holders.

Mechanization of agriculture is an essential input to the modern agriculture. It

enhances productivity, besides reducing human drudgery and cost of cultivation.

Mechanization also helps in improving utilization efficiencies of other inputs. As compared to

some of the neighboring states, pace of mechanization of agriculture in India is not to the

desired level.

The main thrust of this Institute, has been to help the farmers to raise the farm

productivity through custom hiring of machines and introduction of improved farm machinery

and equipment’s at farm level. So as to contribute to this essence, in this quarter conducts

training on judicious use of agricultural machineries on custom hiring basis for the Madhya

Pradesh people.
