Anand Mahindra, the Chairman of Mahindra Group, recently highlighted the often-overlooked capabilities of tractors, praising their ability to tackle rough terrains during disasters. These humble machines played a key role in the rescue efforts during the Wayanad landslides, earning applause from netizens.
In the aftermath of the devastating Wayanad landslides triggered by torrential rains on July 30, tractors emerged as unsung heroes. While they are typically associated with ploughing fields, these sturdy vehicles took on the role of saviors during the disaster, helping to rescue stranded people in the worst-affected areas, including Chooralmala, Muthanga, and Mundakkai.
Anand Mahindra took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to express his admiration for these humble machines. In his post, he wrote, “Humble tractors don’t grab as much attention as SUVs for work they both perform during disasters.” He further added, “Our team works harder to build products knowing they may be used not just to plow fields but occasionally to save lives.”
Mahindra’s post sparked a wave of reactions from netizens, who praised the company and its products. One user commented, “Your tractors and the hard work of your team during the Wayanad floods once again proved that the importance of your products is not limited to ploughing fields but is also extremely important in saving lives during emergencies.”
Another user noted, “Using those massive tractors for disaster management could be a game-changer. They're built like tanks and could tackle situations where regular vehicles just don’t function.” A third user echoed similar sentiments, calling Mahindra Tractors “unsung heroes” for stepping up when it mattered most.
One user even highlighted the importance of tractors in daily life, sharing, “We make houses and need building materials, and the small Mahindra tractors are just a call away. They transport materials in areas where big tractors can’t even enter.”
The Wayanad landslides, one of the most harrowing natural disasters in India this year, claimed over 400 lives and displaced many more. The Kerala government has been working to provide financial assistance to those affected. On August 14, the cabinet subcommittee announced ₹10,000 in relief aid for 379 families impacted by the landslides.
According to a study, human-caused climate change played a significant role in the heavy rainfall that triggered the landslides, making the rainfall 10 percent more intense than usual. The World Weather Attribution (WWA) described the Wayanad landslides as a "once in a 50-year event."
Anand Mahindra’s tribute to tractors reminds us that these humble machines are more than just farm equipment. In times of disaster, they prove their worth by stepping up to perform tasks that even SUVs struggle with. Built like tanks, Mahindra tractors have shown that their strength lies not just in tilling fields and agriculture but also in saving lives when the need arises.
As climate change continues to challenge communities with unpredictable and extreme weather events, tractors may play an even larger role in future disaster management efforts, proving that sometimes, the most humble machines can make the biggest impact.
