Abstract: For the purpose of improve the level of farm mechanization and also to provide employment, the scheme of Custom Hiring Centres (Krishi Yantra Sewa Kendra) was initiated in the state as a State supported scheme. For the Study on status & effectiveness of custom hiring centres (Krishi Yantra Sewa Kendras) in Chhattisgarh state the project was submitted to Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur for the year 2018-19 and was and fund was provided for the study. The study was focussed in the 05 districts of Chhattisgarh Plains viz. Balodabazar – Bhatapara, Bilaspur, Mungeli, Korba & Janjgir-Champa. Forty-three KYSKs were selected from fifteen blocks of five districts. All the KYSKs were established from 2011-12 to 2017-18, and maximum nine were established in the year 2012-13. Majority of the KYSKs were running by the persons who were not having previous experience (58.14%). Two KYSKs were operated by self-help groups, out of which one was women SHG, others were operated by individuals. Nearly four-fifth (79.07%) of the KYSKs operators had arranged the margin money by themselves and rest (20.93%) had arranged it from their friends or relatives. All the KYSKs were running in their own office buildings. Tractor is the most important component of the Custom Hiring Centres (Krishi Yantra Sewa Kendra), as most of the machinery are tractor mounted. They have to mandatory possess at least two tractors. Majority of the respondents (51.16%) reported that they charge Rs. 701 to 1000/- per hour for the tractors. Majority of the respondents (90.70%) reported that demonstration at farmers’ field while in working operations is the best method, as the farmers are directly viewing the performance of their machineries. Majority of the respondents (60.47%) suggested that since they are directly involved in agricultural operations, they should be provided with subsidised diesel. Other tractors are involved in commercial activities but are enjoying the benefits meant for agricultural operations; this should be checked by government.
