The document discusses problems with traditional ploughs used in agriculture, including that they are bulky, require a large amount of energy, and powered ploughs are costly. It aims to save a large amount of energy by using a mechanism that converts a small amount of rotary motion into a large oscillatory motion, making ploughing less strenuous for farmers. The proposed design would help reduce the input force and bulkiness of ploughs, making them more affordable and useful for poor farmers in Maharashtra.
