According to 2011 census, the population of the UP was about 200 million, which covered about of Indian total population and have about of total area of the country. The state is also divided into 9 agro-climatic zones. The western region of Uttar Pradesh consists of four agro-climatic zones and has 26 districts. Out of 26 districts 5 districts were selected for mechanization study in agriculture which helps in improving safety and comfort of the agricultural worker. In India, there is a need to increase the availability of farm power from kW per ha (2016-17) to kW per ha by the end of 2030 to cope up with increasing demand of food grains. The average size of operational holding has declined to ha in 2015-16 as compared to in 2010-11. The farm mechanization indicators and their variability among all agro-climatic zones of western region were studied. The power availability of western plain zone is significantly highest . in comparison to other three western zones of western region in Uttar Pradesh. The mechanization index, power availability, total energy, mechanical energy are highest in western plain zone in comparison to South western semi arid zone, mid western plain zone and Bhabhar and Tarai zone . , kW/ha, kWh/ha, and kWh/ha respectively but human energy is highest in mid western plain zone . kWh/ha in comparison to other three western zones of western region. | Determination of agricultural mechanization parameters for western region of Uttar Pradesh, India
