The Government of India is constantly taking new steps to make farming easier for the farmers. Many types of new technologies are also being promoted by the government in the agriculture sector. However, many farmers are unable to adopt these techniques due to financial constraints.
In this sequence, to increase the availability of drones in the agriculture sector, the government has implemented a special scheme, under which farmers of different classes can get a huge subsidy of 40% to 50% on the purchase of agricultural drones. This subsidy can be in the form of financial assistance ranging from 4 to 5 lakhs.
Under this, farmers of SC-ST, small, marginal, women and northeastern states can get a subsidy of up to a maximum of 5 lakhs in the form of a subsidy of 50%. Farmers of a general category can get subsidies up to a maximum of 4 lakhs in the form of a subsidy of 40%. At the same time, Farmer Producer Organizations can take advantage of the maximum subsidy of 75%. To apply under this, go to the website of the Ministry of Farmers Welfare https://agricoop.nic.in/.
