Conduct of Practicals and Hands-on-Training

> To identify the present mechanization gaps and future needs for improved farm equipment.
> To establish linkages with manufacturers by involving them in developmental process of farm machines and their production technology for manufacturing of improved farm implements.
> To conduct feasibility testing of prototypes of proven designs of farm implements and machinery on farmers field, selected from different regions for adoption under local conditions with a view to bridge the identified mechanization gaps.
> To train students in establishment of rural based service centres for distribution, repairs and maintenance and custom hiring service of improved farm implements and machinery.
> To educate students on the significance of use and maintenance of improved farm equipment through various media including demonstration.
