In life, you need a doctor, a lawyer, a policeman, and a preacher once a week, but every day, three times a day, you need a farmer.
This beautiful line by Brenda Schoepp, Author and Inspirational Speaker sum up the importance of agriculture and farmers in our lives. After years of industrialization and globalization, India still largely remains an agrarian economy run by small and marginal farmers. Despite playing such an important role in nation-building, most farmers are often seen struggling for basic facilities, infrastructure, and machinery to aid them. The hardships and sufferings faced by farmers in India have surprised many youngsters and inspired them to work for them.
Ansh Mishra – a 3rd Year Student at Sagar Institute of Science Technology & Research, Bhopal, was also moved by the plight of farmers and decided to extend a helping hand. At the young age of 20, Ansh founded Titan Tech – a Science & Tech Start-up which developed a Smart Mini-Tractor by Converting a Bike into a Line Digging Tractor. While it is still a prototype, the Smart Mini Tractor has the potential to revolutionize small area farming.
Revolution in Techniques of Small Area Farming (less than 2 hectares area)
Ansh Mishra, co-founder of Titan Tech invented the Smart Mini Tractor by converting the bike into a line digging tractor. While researching small-scale farming techniques, Ansh realized that using large tractors on small farming lands was a difficult task for farmers. To address this concern, Ansh decided to use a bike instead of a tractor as it would save space, digging cost, and labour cost as well as the time is taken to til the land. The Smart Mini Tractor developed by Ansh and his team will help farmers who are involved in the cultivation of fruits and small crops. This revolutionary product will help the farmers in saving money and effort as compared to the traditional method of farming. This may play an important role in increasing the production of fruits and crops.
Features of Smart Mini Tractor
India is a country of farmers, and during the last two decades, shrinking land holdings coupled with the unavailability of agricultural technology and machinery have resulted in a low productivity rate. The Smart Mini Tractor or Bike Line Digger will help farmers do the same amount of work as tractors at less cost with less labour, and more importantly, in less amount of time.
Mechanical Design
Talking about the working of this mechanical design of the Mini Tractor, Ansh has transformed the rear part of the bike by removing the rear axle and fixing the line digger with the help of two supporting wheels. The line digger is attached to the rear portion of the bike, the wheeling system, i.e., the chain is arranged for newly adopted wheels. The lifting up and down of the line is done by the lever system which helps to lift up and down the line digger.
The Smart Mini Tractor will not only make the farmers’ work easy but will also consume less fuel which will also increase productivity. Smart Mini Tractor has a safety- seat belt mounted cousins and side mirror. The Smart Mini Tractor is also equipped with comfort- bike seat modified for agricultural use, radio, and sound system. It also has cabins, wipers, night cameras, and DRL.

Ansh Mishra is a finalist for Best Use of Science & Technology Because…his Smart Mini Tractor or the Bike Line Digger, has the potential to help small-scale farmers involved in the cultivation of fruits and vegetables. The Smart Mini Tractor can be used in small landholdings and is equally effective as large tractors in ensuring maximum agricultural yield. Backed by the novel invention, His start-up Titan Tech has found a place among the Top-10 startups during the Innonext Challenge 2.0 in Bhopal.
