SMAM (SUB-MISSION ON AGRICULTURAL MECHANIZATION)

OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES
Introduction
(i) Agricultural land area in the world has limit, but the demand for food is ever increasing due to
population growth. To increase productivity in the limited land so as to meet the expanding
demand arising from population growth as well as higher income is very important mission.
(ii) The task assumes greater importance to India, than the rest of the world considering that India
accounts for 2.4% of the worlds geographical area and 4% of its water resources, but has to
support17% of the worlds human population and 15% of the livestock.
(iii) To increase productivity, timely and precise field work is necessary to make it possible,
agricultural machines take an important role.
(iv) Among the states, farm power availability in Punjab, Haryana, Western Uttar Pradesh and
western part of Rajasthan is higher than the National average of 1.73kW/ha. In rest of the country,
especially in Eastern and North-East Regions, it is significantly lower which necessities promotion
of farm mechanization as a special Mission.
(v) Sub Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM) will be implemented in accordance with
guidelines described here under.
(vi) The scheme will be implemented in all the states, to promote the usage of farm mechanization
and increase the ratio of farm power to cultivable unit area up to 2 kW/ha.

(vii) SMAM will have Central Sector Schemes under component No.1 & 2.Centrally Sponsored
Schemes are covered under component No. 3 to8 in which Government of India contributes 75%
and states contribute 25%.

Mission Objectives
The Mission objectives are as follows:
(i) Increasing the reach of farm mechanization to small and marginal farmers and to the regions
here availability of farm power is low;
(ii) Promoting Custom Hiring Centres to offset the adverse economies of scale arising due to
small landholding and high cost of individual ownership;
(iii) Creating hubs for hi-tech & high value farm equipments;
(iv)Creating awareness among stakeholders through demonstration and capacity building
activities;
(v) Ensuring performance testing and certification at designated testing centers located all over the
country.

Mission Strategy
To achieve the above objectives, the Mission will adopt the following strategies:
(i) Conduct performance testing for various farm machineries and equipments at the four Farm
Machinery Training and Testing Institutes (FMTTIs), designated State Agricultural Universities
(SAUs) and ICAR institutions;
(ii) Promote farm mechanization among stakeholders by way of on-field and off-field training and
demonstrations.
(iii) Provide financial assistance to farmers for procurement of farm machinery and implements
(iv) Establish custom hiring centres of location and crop specific farm machinery and implements
(v) Provide financial assistance to small and marginal farmers for hiring
machinery and implements in low mechanized regions.

Mission Components
1. Promotion and Strengthening of Agricultural Mechanization through Training,
Testing and Demonstration: Aims to ensure performance testing of agricultural
machinery and equipment, capacity building of farmers and end users and promoting farm
mechanization through emonstrations.
2. Demonstration, Training and Distribution of Post Harvest Technology and
Management (PHTM): Aims at popularizing technology for primary processing, value
addition, low cost scientific storage/transport and the crop by-product management through
demonstrations, capacity building of farmers and end users. Provides financial assistance
for establishing PHT units.

3. Financial Assistance for Procurement of Agriculture Machinery and Equipment:

Promotes ownership of various agricultural machinery & equipments as per norms of
assistance.
4. Establish Farm Machinery Banks for Custom Hiring: Provides suitable financial
assistance to establish Farm Machinery Banks for Custom Hiring for appropriate locations
and crops.
5. Establish Hi-Tech, High Productive Equipment Hub for Custom Hiring: Provides
financial assistance to set up hi-tech machinery hubs for high value crops like sugarcane,
cotton etc.
6. Promotion of Farm Mechanization in Selected Villages: Provides financial assistance to
promote appropriate technologies and to set up Farm Machinery Banks in identified
villages in low mechanised states.
7. Financial Assistance for Promotion of Mechanized Operations/hectare Carried out
Through Custom Hiring Centres: Provides financial assistance on per hectare basis to the
beneficiaries hiring machinery/equipments from custom hiring centres in low mechanized
areas.
POSITION OF ONGOING SCHEMES
Farm Mechanization programmes are also being implemented through other missions/schemes
such as RKVY, MIDH, NMOOP & NFSM, which would continue to be implemented subject to
these guidelines. The Central Sector schemes Promotion and Strengthening of Agricultural
Mechanisation through Training, Testing and Demonstration and Post Harvest Technology &
Management stand merged with this Sub-Mission.
