Detailed Description

Agriculture in India is one of the major sectors of the Indian economy, having 18% of India’s GDP. Farm mechanisation in India has reached 40 to 45%, in which tractors form an integral part of farm mechanisation and have a crucial role to play in increasing agricultural productivity. India is the largest producer of tractors. The technology and the aesthetics in the tractors are getting modern these days. Young farmers in India wanted to perform multiple applications with comfort using tractors and would like to see the tractor as a symbol of their lifestyle. Hence, this project is to design a next-generation tractor for young farmers satisfying their aesthetic aspirations based on the user research with a sample of young farmers in India.
