Stubble burning has been the main cause of rising pollution levels

It's that time of the year when pollution levels start rising to alarming numbers in the entire northern India. One of the main reasons for that is the burning of stubble by farmers in the states of Haryana and Punjab as for them this is the cheapest way of disposing of the waste generated from the summer crops. However this is in no way environment friendly as it causes a lot of smoke which increases the pollution to hazardous levels in many parts of the country. However, Swaraj Tractors, a subsidiary of Mahindra has found a more environment friendly way of that returns the stubble back to the soil. Swaraj 963FE is ideal for super seeder application due its lower operating speeds. The company is advocating the use of super seeders with their tractors that helps returns the stubble back to the soil and solves the issue of stubble burning.
