From the Director’s Desk Agricultural Mechanization plays an important role in bringing self sufficiency in Agriculture sector in India. Farm Mechanization also enables conservation of inputs, reduces unit cost of production, increases productivity and removes drudgery and hazards to humans and animals. This is possible with selection and use of appropriate machines/implements and human resources development of mechanization aspects by means of imparting training to net the benefits of agricultural mechanization. This is the objective underlying setting up of a Farm Machinery Training and Testing Institute for the Southern Region of the country. The Government of India established this prestigious Institute at Garladinne in Anantapur Dist (A.P.) in the year 1983 for the promotion and strengthening of Agricultural mechanization through Training and Testing programs especially in the Southern Region. With the set objectives, the Institute has sailed through successfully for about three decades and has spread its tentacles at the grass root level. Today, the Institute with its state of art training & testing facilities, stands a pioneer in the field of agricultural mechanization. It is hoped that the e-newsletter brought out for the quarter April-June, 2014 will be useful.
