Although women contribute a lot to Indian agriculture, but their contribution is not recognized because this contribution of women is mainly given to their families and all the credit goes to the head of the family. However, now many types of work are being done by the government to advance women in the agriculture sector.
To fulfil this objective, a scheme is being run by the Rajasthan government. The name of this scheme is “Student Incentive Subsidy Scheme” under which a subsidy of Rs 40,000 is given especially to girls for agriculture sector studies.
Actually, this scheme was already being run under which Rs 5000 was given to the girl students of class 11th and 12th, this amount has been increased to Rs 15000 this year. Undergraduate and postgraduate girl students used to get Rs 12000 which has been increased to Rs 25000. On the other hand, girl students doing PhD in agriculture used to get Rs 15,000, which has now been increased to Rs 40,000.
