Due to the modern equipment used in agricultural work, today farming has become easier than before. But these equipments are not available to every farmer because they are very expensive. Keeping in view this problem of the farmers, many schemes are being run by the government to give subsidies on the equipments. One of these schemes is the Agricultural Mechanization Scheme.

Many states including Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Bihar are running agricultural mechanization schemes at their level and under this they are giving subsidies on the purchase of agricultural machinery. In this series, the Government of Chhattisgarh has given subsidies on tractors as well as other agricultural implements to 610 farmers through the Agricultural Mechanization Scheme and other participatory schemes in the Rajnandgaon district of the state in the last 4 years. Chhattisgarh government has spent Rs 5 crore 90 lakh 42 thousand in this.

Let us tell you that in this scheme being run in Chhattisgarh, farmers are given a 40 to 50% subsidy on buying agricultural machinery. Along with this, bank loans are also made available to the farmers to buy agricultural machinery.
