 We can now analyse from one Implement / Machine how Farm Mechanisation has created job opportunities for un employed youths in rural areas of Odisha which is a poor state.Let us take example of Combine Harvester.The per hour cost of this machine is Rs3000/-on rent basis out of which Rs2500/- goes to the bank account of the owner & Rs500/- per hour goes to the pocket of the unemployed youth who negotiates with different farmers of the village for running of the machine in their field.He make the time schedule / slots for different farmers,collect money before operation,deposit money in the bank account of  the Combine owner everyday twice in the forenoon & before bank closes at 4 PM in the afternoon.Even in harvesting season, the combine operates at night.Thus the owner is free from all litigations in the village where his combine operates & gets his money timely everyday twice checking his net banking.Even the combine operates 500km away from him or in other state...
