Today India has progressed a lot in the field of technology. The country’s scientists have also touched the moon through Chandrayaan 3. However, while on the one hand, the country has stepped on the moon, on the other hand, there are many farmers who are still doing traditional farming using bulls and ploughs. With the aim of ensuring that all such farmers can take advantage of modern agricultural equipment, the central and state governments are running many schemes at their respective levels.

In this series, the Uttar Pradesh government is also providing a super subsidy of up to Rs 1 lakh to farmers on farming machines. This scheme is being run by the Horticulture Department under the National Horticulture Mission Scheme. Under this scheme, a super subsidy of up to 50% is being given on much other agricultural equipment including disc plough, plough, tractor mounted sprayer, potato digging machine, power thresher and clearwater. To avail of the benefits of the scheme, you will have to visit the official website of the state agriculture department http://upagriculture.com/.
