TIFAN

(Technology Innovation Forum For Agricultural Nurturing)

 INTRODUCTION

 

SAE(Society Of Automotive Engineers) is an international organization.TIFAN comes under SAEINDIA OFF-HIGHWAY competition.

 COMPETITION

 The machine developed under TIFAN competition are judged in a series of static and dynamic events including safety scrutiny, technical inspection, cost, sales & marketing presentation, review of engineering design and field performance at TIFAN location. Dynamic events are scored to determine the field performance of the farm machine. The high-level distribution points for the competition would be as below, subjected to vary depending upon the format of competition at the actual event in awake of the pandemic situation.
