The Center and different states run many types of government schemes with the aim of empowering the farmers. In this episode, the Uttar Pradesh government has started a great scheme for the farmers. Under this, subsidy is being provided on the purchase of agricultural machinery. Farmers can avail this under the Agricultural Mechanization Scheme, in which subsidy will be provided on agricultural defense equipment, custom hiring center, hi-tech hub, threshing floor, small warehouse and other agricultural equipment.
