The SAEI-OHB (Society of Automotive ENGINEERING India) organizes TIFAN(Technology Innovation Forum for
Agricultural Nurturing) competition, challenges teams of undergraduate engineering students to conceive, design, fabricate,
develop and compete with self-propelled farm machinery, in an event with field demonstration. This competition is designed to
solve problem arising at farm. Students designed and fabricated the overall self-propelled onion harvester. While designing the
harvester, most important requirement is design strong and safe harvester, it involves identifying and analysing various failure
modes in initial stage of design.
