Introduction
Crop harvesting involves either removing the plants after they have been torn out or cutting the crops close to the earth. It entails cutting coral crop stems, such as tuar, Jawar, Bajra, and maize, close to the ground. In our nation, a sharp sickle is typically used to cut things. Mainly, small-scale rice farmers are using conventional methods or, we could say, traditional methods in farming. The reaping process of the rice crop is very time-consuming as well as it requires more human effort.

The labour required for farming is also more compared to other crops. So, the development of mechanical operated reaper is come but the reapers are costly for the use for the farmers those farms are small in size. They cannot afford harvesters and other expensive machinery. So, we have developed a small and low-cost solar assisted rice reaper machine which runs on electricity by use of batteries.
