Meghalaya Machinery Project

Objective

The primary objective of the Meghalaya Machinery Project was the procurement of drudgery reduction equipment under the Meghalaya Basin Management Agency (MBMA). This initiative focused on empowering farmers by introducing modern agricultural machinery designed to minimize physical labor and streamline farming activities. By providing access to advanced tools and technologies, the project aimed to enhance agricultural productivity, improve operational efficiency, and reduce the time and effort required for farming practices. Additionally, the project emphasized capacity-building through hands-on training programs, enabling farmers to effectively use and maintain the machinery. This not only contributed to increased crop yields but also promoted sustainable farming practices by optimizing resource utilization. 

Project Methodology

Needs Assessment: Conducted surveys and interviews with local farmers to understand their specific needs and challenges. Identified the types of machinery that would be most beneficial for the region’s unique agricultural practices.

Procurement and Distribution: Procured high-quality machinery, including power tillers, power weeders, brush cutters, rice transplanters, post hole diggers, power sprayers, tree climbers, step ladders, fruit catchers, portable water pumps, and goat fencing. Distributed the machinery to farmers across various villages in Meghalaya.

Training and Support: Organized training sessions for farmers on the proper use and maintenance of the machinery. Provided continuous support and troubleshooting assistance through a dedicated helpline and field visits.
