About Us
The Farm Machinery Training & Testing Centre, established under the approval of the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India, vide letter no – 8 – 1/2004 – 2004 – MY (I & P), dt – 30.03.2012, has been a pivotal institution in the field of agricultural technology assessment. Commencing its operations in the fiscal year 2013-14, SLFMTTC is nestled within the premises of the Odisha Farm Machinery Research & Development Centre (OFMRDC) located in Satyanagar, Bhubaneswar.
A significant milestone in this journey was the generous allocation of 5.37 acres of land by the Government of Odisha, exclusively for the functioning of this testing center in the state capital. Within this expansive facility, dedicated testing plots spanning 0.5 acres and 1 acre have been meticulously developed for the comprehensive evaluation of agricultural implements.
To ensure the precision and reliability of our testing processes, SLFMTTC has acquired state-of-the-art testing machines and equipment, in addition to those already available at OFMRDC. Initially, the Government of India entrusted us with the task of testing farm machinery, and subsequently, on August 31, 2017, we received the authorization to expand our testing services to encompass Post Harvest Technology (PHT) Equipment.
