Custom Hiring Center at KVK Sheohar

The Custom Hiring Center (CHC) at Krishi Vigyan Kendra Sheohar plays an important role in promoting farm mechanization and improving agricultural productivity among farmers of the district. The center has been established to provide modern agricultural machinery and equipment to farmers on a rental basis at affordable rates. Since many small and marginal farmers are unable to purchase costly farm machinery, the Custom Hiring Center acts as an effective support system for timely agricultural operations.

            The main objective of the Custom Hiring Center is to ensure that farmers have easy access to modern agricultural implements such as tractors, rotavators, seed drills, power weeders, paddy transplanters, threshers, sprayers, reapers, and other farm tools. These machines help farmers perform agricultural activities efficiently, reduce labor dependency, save time, and minimize production costs. The use of improved machinery also increases crop productivity and enhances the quality of farm operations.

            KVK Sheohar regularly conducts demonstrations, training programs, and awareness campaigns on the proper use and maintenance of agricultural machinery through the Custom Hiring Center. Farmers are educated about the benefits of mechanization, precision farming, residue management, and conservation agriculture. The center also encourages women farmers and rural youth to adopt mechanized farming practices for income generation and entrepreneurship development.

            The Custom Hiring Center has significantly contributed to solving the problem of labor shortage during peak agricultural seasons. Farmers can hire machines according to their requirement for land preparation, sowing, irrigation, harvesting, and post-harvest operations. This timely availability of machinery helps in increasing cropping intensity and reducing crop losses.

            In addition, the CHC supports sustainable agriculture by promoting resource-efficient technologies and reducing drudgery in farming operations. It also helps in strengthening the linkage between farmers and agricultural experts at KVK Sheohar. Through continuous technical guidance and field support, the center has become an important platform for enhancing farmers’ income and promoting modern agriculture in the district.
