Dr. Devesh Chaturvedi, Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare today called upon industry to play a pivotal role in shaping Indian agriculture sector’s vision of 2047 by prioritising green-fuel based mechanisation and reduce the drudgery of women farmers by making gender-neutral farm equipment to reduce workload. Addressing the 9 th International Exhibition & Conference on Agri-Machinery, Equipment & Agri-tech Solutions at EIMA ‘Agrimach India 2025’ organized jointly by FICCI, Italian agriculture industry body FEDERUNACOMA in association with Ministry of Agriculture Farmers Welfare, Dr Chaturvedi said, “Over the next 5–10 years, we should shift our technologies towards green fuels—whether electrically operated tractors or machines running on CBG (compressed biogas) available for rural CBG plants. This transition will bring down both maintenance and operational costs for farmers. Our schemes will increasingly prioritize green-fuel-based technologies. I would urge our Italian industr counterparts to collaborate in this area.”
