The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention is a seed planting machine that can be used by hand for farming. The machine has a frame, drive wheels that touches the ground, a handle for pushing it by hand, a seed hopper, a housing for the seed metering mechanism, a tube for delivering seeds, a furrow opener and a furrow closure. A chain drive assembly connects the driving wheel to the seed metering mechanism, allowing the machine's forward movement to engage the metering mechanism and spread seeds into a furrow made in the soil. This concept permits controlled seed placement without the use of external power sources and would be suitable for small-scale and manual farming operations."
