In different states, the government provides substantial subsidies on expensive agricultural machinery like power tillers and rotavators so that general farmers can also use them. Let us know in today’s article how much subsidy the government is giving on these instruments in states like Chhattisgarh, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Assam.
First of all, let’s talk about Chhattisgarh, Here farmers can easily use farming equipment through an agricultural mechanization scheme. Under this scheme, the state’s general category farmers and scheduled caste, scheduled tribe and women farmers are also being given huge subsidies of 60 to 70% on the purchase of these agricultural equipment.
Farmers of Tamil Nadu can also buy many modern agricultural implements like power, tiller, seed drills, zero-till and seed fertilizers at tremendous subsidies. The government here is giving a 40% subsidy on power spare to general category farmers and a 60% subsidy to SC and ST farmers.
Farmers in Uttar Pradesh can buy tractors at a subsidy of 30% or up to a maximum of Rs 50,000. Farmers can avail the benefits of this scheme on the purchase of Mahindra, Swaraj and Sonalika tractors.
