Since antiquity, agriculture has been the main industry in India, providing employment for two-fifths of its population. Despite India being one of the largest producers of cash crops, a revolution is needed to raise farmer incomes and enable them to live a sustainable life. Krish-e-Hal presents itself as an alternative solution to increase their income during the off-season, when no crops are grown and hunger becomes a problem. A web portal has been set up, allowing farmers to lend and buy farming machinery and equipment, and this multilingual portal can be used easily by any farmer in any part of the country. India has a unique cropping pattern, with different parts of the state experiencing sowing season or off-season at any given time, and this pattern is being utilised in our portal to help farmers to generate an alternate source of income by lending their expensive modern farming equipment in the off-season. Our solution is beneficial for poor farmers in debt trap, providing an additional source of income to help them break out of this vicious cycle.
