As a major sector, agriculture continues to be the life line for millions of farmers in Bihar; India. Change in the production and productivity in the field of agriculture being possible in Bihar due to a massive diversion from the traditional agriculture to new commercial agriculture. As urbanization in the state is still very poor, nearly 90 per cent of the population lives in rural areas. The State of Bihar is also lagging behind the national average On all socio-economic indicators like per capita income, average size of operational holding, per capita cultivated land, percentage of villages electrified, road length per thousand sq km, per capita deposit, per capita bank credit, credit deposit ratio, male-female literacy , and life expectancy etc. Bihar is considered to be at the bottom. State of Bihar and mostly its North region have flood effected area thats why farmers live at this place became poor due to crops affected by floods .Farmers used only traditional cropping system at this place due to poor economy and abandoned by industries and govt. policies. So if farm mechanization applied at this place then the condition of the farmers will improve due to increase in the production of crops. In this paper we are going to research on the present condition of the Bihar in farm mechanization and also proposed a research on perspective of agricultural mechanization in Supaul district of North Bihar.
