Agricultural mechanization implies the use of various power sources and improved farm tools and equipment, with a view to reduce the drudgery of the human beings and draught animals, enhance the cropping intensity, precision and timelines of efficiency of utilisation of various crop inputs and reduce the losses at different stages of crop production. The end objective of farm mechanization is to enhance the overall productivity and production with the lowest cost of production. The contribution of agricultural mechanization has been well recognized in enhancing the production together with irrigation, biological and chemical inputs of high yielding seed varieties, fertilizers, pesticides and mechanical energy. Indian Green Revolution is regarded as one of the greatest achievements of the 20 th century. It has been adopted in India on a large scale benefiting both small, medium and large size farms. Some of its aspects such as its impact on human labour employment in a labour abundant economy have always evoked sharp responses from the policy makers. Several studies have been conducted on the impact of agricultural mechanization on production, productivity, cropping intensity, human labour employment as well as income generation. Different researchers have concluded that farm mechanization enhances the production and productivity of different crops due to timeliness of operations, better quality of operations and precision in the application of the inputs.
