DIMO empowers tractor owners for Maha season

• Holds DIMO Care Camp and Mahindra Tractor Service Camp 

Supporting Sri Lanka’s farming communities in preparing for the Maha season, DIMO Agribusinesses successfully concluded its tractor service initiatives, the DIMO Care Camp and Mahindra Tractor Service Camp series, drawing strong participation from tractor owners across the island.

The DIMO Care Camp welcomed tractors of any brand or model, while the Mahindra Service Camp series was dedicated to Mahindra tractor owners. Both initiatives highlighted the importance of proper maintenance in extending the life span and efficiency of tractors, ensuring the tractor owners can maximise productivity during the critical Maha cultivation season. 

The DIMO Care Camp operated across key agricultural districts, including Vavuniya, Anuradhapura, Ampara, Kurunegala and Polonnaruwa between July 30 and August 11, 2025. 

Meanwhile, the Mahindra Tractor Service Camps were conducted from August 07 to 31 in Kilinochchi, Mannar, Mullaitivu, Ampara, Chenkalady, Monaragala, Wellawaya, Ethimale, Giradurukotte, Rambewa, Padaviya, Horowpathana, Mahawa, Kantale and Polpithigama.

The participants benefited from detailed tractor inspections, servicing and repairs with technical consultations and the provision of essential spare parts. Many farmers also gained valuable insights from DIMO’s experienced technicians, equipping them to maintain tractors at optimal performance levels for longer periods.

In addition to technical services, the programmes also included community well-being activities. Health clinics were organised alongside the camps, offering blood pressure checks, BMI assessments and other screenings to raise awareness of the importance of good health for tractor owners during the demanding cultivation season. At the Mahindra camps, medical services such as blood sugar testing and doctor consultations were extended to both tractor owners and the surrounding communities.

DIMO Executive Director Rajeev Pandithage said, “Our aim through the DIMO Care Camp and Mahindra Tractor Service Camp series was to empower the tractor owners with the right technical knowledge and practical guidance. We believe that these services will help the tractor owners make the most of their tractors with greater efficiency and durability.”
