        abstract = {In many rural and semi-urban agricultural regions, small and marginal farmers face significant challenges in access- ing modern farming equipment due to high purchase costs, lim- ited availability, and lack of efficient rental platforms. At the same time, equipment owners often struggle to reach potential renters and manage bookings effectively. To address these challenges, this research presents an Agricultural Equipment Rental System, a digital platform designed to connect farmers with equipment vendors through a centralized and user-friendly system.
The proposed system enables farmers to browse, search, and rent agricultural equipment such as tractors, harvesters, seed drills, and irrigation tools based on availability and rental cost. Vendors can register their machinery, manage equipment listings, and track bookings through a dedicated interface. An administrative module oversees user management, equipment verification, and booking activities to ensure transparency and reliability within the platform.
The system is developed using modern web technologies including HTML, CSS, and the Django web framework with an SQLite database for efficient data storage and management. This architecture provides a lightweight, scalable, and cost-effective solution for digitizing agricultural equipment rental services. The platform improves resource utilization, reduces operational costs for farmers, and enhances accessibility to modern agri- cultural machinery. Experimental implementation demonstrates improved equipment accessibility, better vendor–farmer connec- tivity, and efficient management of rental operations, contributing to the advancement of technology-driven and sustainable agri- cultural practices.},
