Introduction. In earlier days, cows and bulls were used for ploughing the agricultural land. The tractors have no doubt reduced the time and labour for preparing the fields for farming, but the overall cost has increased enormously . More over the tractors run on diesel and the smoke let out not only pollutes the environment but also damages human health..

Family farming in many parts of the world is still a significant factor in food production. These animals worked very hard in adverse climatic conditions all through the day in the fields ploughing and tilling the soil before sowing. With the advent of the machination in the field of agriculture, tractors were introduced. The tractors have no doubt reduced the time and labor for preparing the fields for farming, but the overall cost has increased enormously . Famers have to pay large sums of money for hiring a tractor during the sowing season. Apart from the cost of hiring, during the peak sowing season there is an acute shortage of tractors and hence sometimes there is undue delay in staring the farming activity. Moreover the tractors run on diesel and the smoke let out not only pollutes the environment but also damages human health..

Problem statement. To cultivate the agricultural land in easily, comfortably. To decrease the no . of deaths of our farmers in our country . To reduce pollution. To plough the land in less time. To plough the land with Less cost. To increase more profits to our farmers..

Proposed method. E-Plough integrated with an electric motor which can be used for propulsion with rechargeable batteries which doesn't pollute the environment and reduces the cost ..

Objectives: To help Indian farmers to achieve good crop yield with low cost so as to give more income to the farmers without polluting the environment. To reduce the cost there by making agriculture profitable. To avoid usage of cows and bulls. To minimize the ploughing time. To perform additional tasks including removal of weeds, addition of fertilizers etc. To use rechargeable batteries which reduces the cost of regular fuel investment.

Future work. To convert this cultivator in to a self generating vehicle using Solar Power. To extend as a smart sprayer/sower with few modifications in order to use it to remove weeds and to sow the seeds using advanced AI techniques..

Conclusion. By using this cultivator we can reduce the investment in ploughing the land. With the design, it is very convenient to use. And majorly, it is eco-friendly. Finally, it will serve the farmer’s need and bring more profits to farmers..
