Abstract

Indian agriculture has witnessed a dearth in farm mechanization resulting in inadequate production and productivity in various parts of the country. Despite its need and usefulness, farm mechanization is still far off the reach of small and marginal farmers, who by the virtue of their poor economic condition are unable to acquire the various farm implements needed for timely farm operations. Custom hiring centers (CHC) are a reliable source for bringing a considerable change in the farming situation across the country by availing hiring services of farm implements at affordable rates to the farmers. CHCs are capable to realize the labor shortage, efficient and timely operations, and increased yields. Many studies have demonstrated different dimensions regarding the custom hiring centers and their services. This review paper is collated to provide a better understanding of the perception of the farmers, associated factors, constraints experienced by the farmers, and suggestions regarding utilization of custom hiring services (CHS).
