Meet Vitthal Hari Mandole from Jalgaon district in Maharashtra, the farmer who tilled his land with a cot because he could not afford a plough and a pair of bulls.
A farmer from Chahnehra village in Banda, Uttar Pradesh, invented a low cost, simple ploughing machine from an old cycle. It costs only Rs 3000 and requires no fuel, unlike regular ploughs that start at Rs 20,000, requiring fuel or bullock.
