Agriculture sector in india contributes 13.7 % of gdp and 10 % of overall export earnings. the evolution of harvesting systems is as follows: manual harvesting and threshing - this includes use of traditional tools for harvesting (sickles, knives) and threshing such as threshing racks, simple treadle threshers and animals for trampling; manual harvesting and mechanical threshing - the use of portable thresher is usually the first step in mechanical threshing. stationary threshing is generally done in the field, or near the field; mechanized cutting followed by machine threshing - cutting and laying the crop on a windrow is done using a reaper, threshing by a thresher and cleaning either manually or by machine; combine harvesting - the combine harvester combines all operations: cutting the crop, feeding it into threshing mechanism, threshing, cleaning, and discharge of grain into a bulk wagon or directly into bags. the trend of shifting towards machinery as observed in the above evolution is due to the drastic reduction in the availability of work force in agriculture sector over the years. however costly variants of complete rice harvester is available in the market which is not feasible for the poor farmers in india. thus focusing on the reduction of the cost in machinery by simplifying the complexities arising in the complete mechanization, makes harvesting possible at economic costs. the aim of this model is to replace the costly and fuel driven variants of rice harvester in market with cheap and compact rice reaper for poor and small scale farmers. the engine in a conventional combine harvester is replaced with electric battery driven motors. thus the need for design for low power consumption model has driven us towards the making of this product.
