 INTRODUCTION
A SIGNIFICANT ASPECT OF BOOSTING OUR ECONOMY IS ENHANCING OUR AGRICULTURAL
GROWTH. SMALL FARMERS, SCATTERED ACROSS INDIA HAVE ABOUT 85% CONTRIBUTION TO
INDIAN AGRICULTURE AND HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO AGRICULTURAL INPUTS SPECIFICALLY
MECHANIZED TOOLS. HOWEVER, WITH AWARENESS, THERE HAS BEEN A PARADIGM SHIFT IN
THIS FUNCTION. THE EMERGENCE OF FARM MACHINERY RENTAL MODELS, EXPOSURE AND
THEIR UTILIZATION SO FAR, RECOMMENDATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE FUTURE
MIGHT BE ONE OF THE KEY ELEMENTS IN THE BLOOM OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR IN
INDIA.
