Abstract
Indian Agriculture is undergoing a gradual shift from dependence on human power and animal power to mechanical power. Mechanical power is largely consumed in big land holdings asunder their economic condition, the small and marginal farmers are unable to own farm machinery on their own. Andhra Pradesh State is typically an agrarian State with 80.96 lakh ha of the net sown area and has about 65.39 lakh ha operational holdings and 34.35 lakh ha are small and marginal holdings. Some of the initial problems in farm mechanization had been the small and scattered size of farm holdings, financially challenged farmers, lack of awareness among the marginal farmers, and the issue of dry land agriculture. In Andhra Pradesh at present, the Farm power availability is below 2.00Kw/ha. Which is low and there is a lot of scope for improvement. The mechanization index very low SC and ST category because of that is staying away from the municipal areas, small land holding, less annual income, and repair and Maintenance Lake of non-availability of workshops in rural areas. The economic status of the farmers is greatly affected by the farm mechanization index less mechanization formed in less than 25,000 Rs of the annual income of the farmers.
