Pradhan Machine: a Multi-Function Agri Machine Invented out of Experience

Gurucharan Pradhan is based out of Talita, small Village in Bonaigarh Tehsil in Sundargarh District, in Odisha. He is proud inventor and owner of the Pradhan machine. He spoke about this machine in the recently released FTB video. 

A farmer by profession, Gurucharan invented this machine to make his life as a farmer easy. He said this machine can perform as much work in a day that 10 labourers will be able to perform together. He said it is as simple to operate as a sewing machine. Practice makes perfect. It will not take much time to learn to operate it and the more you work on the machine more comfortable you will be using it. This machine is cheap compared to what it does. Its initial cost is Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 30,000. 

He then shows us his machine that he has built with all of his experience. How this machine came into being is a long story, he continuously upgraded to make this multi-functional machine. This is a multi-purpose all-in-one machine. He showed us how to operate it. 

He proudly shows us his machine which he has developed on his own. He show us in the video mostly demonstrations of how his machine performs the different tasks. His wife often helps him in these tasks when more than one person is required for the activity. He is almost at retirement age but he still focuses on his tasks and works enthusiastically. The different tasks that this machine is capable of performing are below:  

• It chops straws for cattle. A dynamo is fitted with it.  So, you can manually chop straws and simultaneously produce electricity through the dynamo. 
• You can use it to separate corns from maize.
• You can sharpen your tools like axe, cutter etc with this machine.
• You can use it to grate coconuts.

• It also works as a thrasher for groundnut and paddy. 
• It can be utilized to segregate debris from paddy or rice.
• It can be used as turmeric grinder. 
• It can grind ayurvedic plants and fruits. A pestle is fitted with the machine for this purpose.
• In addition to this he has attached a rubber with the pestle. This pestle can be used while making rice out of paddy. It would keep the outer covering (brown covering) of the rice intact. Eating rice with this brown covering can guard you against many ailments.  

Most of these tasks are performed at a great speed by the machine. This is a green coloured big and noiseless machine.
