Abstract: | A remarkable feature of economic growth in South Asia during the last decade or so, is the emergence of agriculture as a buoyant sector. This is accompanied with popularization of machine power or the farms. An interesting feature of farm mechanization situation in South Asia is the existence of a relatively large number of four-wheel high power tractor, while the size of distribution of agricultural holdings should indicate larger prevalence of two-wheel or at any rate small power tractors. In the labour abundant economies of this region, it is difficult to justify large power driven is a major constraint. In the existing situation the type of mechanization is a major constraint. In the existing situation the type of mechanization prevalent in this region reflects, in essence, the bi-polar agrarian structure. |
