Various studies reported that agricultural sector is very hazardous in case of injuries and musculoskeletal disorders. A very large workforce is engaged in this sector hence the researchers should be focused in this sector for the improved machinery and equipment designs. A better compatibility of the worker with equipment enhances the safety and performance of the user. In this comparative study of various anthropometric traits of different regions of Indian agricultural population it is observed that north Indian males are largest (stature) out all regional population (1665 mm). Hand length found highest for central Indian workers (185 mm) and hand breadth is found highest for north Indian workers (100 mm).
