In today’s era, farmers are earning a lot of extra income by trying their hands at many other works along with farming. Works like tree plantation, which comes under the agriculture sector, not only give good income but also benefit the environment. Schemes are run by the government in the field of agriculture, but in order to promote tree plantation, the government is also bringing many new schemes in this area. One of these is a special scheme started by the Forest Department.

In fact, the Environment, Forest and Climate Change Department of Bihar State has started a scheme called ‘Jal Jeevan Hariyali Yojana’. Under this scheme, farmers get both fruit and timber plants on a fixed deposit of just Rs.10. The thing to note here is that if these plants survive for three years, then the owner of the plant will also be given a subsidy of Rs 70 per plant. Please tell me that the process of applying under this scheme has started. Interested farmers can visit the official website of the Forest Department to apply.
