    As the initial investment for the adoption of mechanization in agriculture is high, Schedule Caste, Schedule Tribe, small and marginal farmers cannot afford to buy every farm implement/implement to adopt mechanization in agriculture. Farmers are unable to purchase sophisticated and large equipment individually. High rents have to be paid for hiring farm implements, making average farming expensive. Therefore, the Agro Service Provider scheme has been implemented to provide farmers in Gujarat with easy access to farm implements required for agricultural mechanization and to encourage farmers in the field of agriculture. The project was undertaken to evaluate the economic benefits of Community Hire Centers (CHCs) for farmers, including the costs associated with machinery procurement, maintenance, and storage, as well as to assess the effectiveness of SelfHelp Groups (SHGs) in the management and operation of CHCs in Ahwa, Dang district of Gujarat. The performance of the Agriculture Equipment Provider Scheme was analyzed across various villages in Ahwa & Subir, and the models of the highest performing units were also analyzed.
