India's agriculture is continuously shifting from using automated power to manual labour. This
much-needed shift lowers the costs associated with caring for animals and hiring labour, which
directly boosts crop output, eliminates drudgery, and facilitates crop-related operations within a
time-bound framework. The study was undertaken in Madhya Pradesh and Telangana States.
Two erstwhile districts namely Mahabubnagar and Nalgonda districts in Telangana state and
Tikamgarh and Guna districts in Madhya Pradesh were selected for the study. Based on the
findings of the study including the constraints and suggestions the strategy has been developed
for each CHC Model. For the effective functioning of Custom Hiring Centers the Government,
Extension officials, CHC personnel should work cooperatively with truth and equal justice and
without bias and political inference. The government should improve the easy accessibility of
farm machinery and road/transport facilities in the locality for easy and timely movement of
machinery. The government should develop an ICT App named “CHC App” and ensure all the
operating CHCs available in it for easy and timely availability of CHC machinery to farmers.
Entrepreneurs should make availability of more frequently used machinery in CHC. Machines
with low demand should be replaced by machines with high demand. FPO staff should conduct
awareness programs to farmers about new implements. This is a unique and pioneering study of
its kind, in which an attempt was made to investigate the custom hiring centre models.   The
results of the study are useful helpful for all the stakeholders in modifying their strategies for
effective functioning of CHCs.
