Modern agriculture depends heavily on engineering, technology and the biological and physical sciences. Irrigation, drainage, conservation and channelling are all important fields to guarantee success in agriculture and require the expertise of agricultural engineers.Agricultural tools should lead to a sustainable increase in yields and cropping intensity with the objective of meeting the planned rate of growth in agricultural production and maintaining it.

Agricultural tools are instruments used to till the land, carrying sand, weeding, soil removal, trenching, carrying fertilizer or materials, etc. The benefits of agricultural tools should apply to all types of farmers including small and marginal ones in different regions of the country, particularly rain fed areas. Agricultural tools should create a worker friendly environment especially for women workers by lessening hard labour, health hazards and improve safety in production operations.
