In today’s era, the use of modern machinery in farming has increased a lot. Now it has become impossible to do farming without the use of these machines. That is why the government is also running government schemes to provide agricultural equipment to the farmers on subsidy. This new initiative has been started by the Bihar government. The name of this scheme is “Agricultural Mechanization Scheme” and through this, subsidy is provided to the farmers on the purchase of agricultural equipment.

Let us tell you that under this scheme, the selection process of beneficiary farmers is done through online lottery. It is worth noting that under the Fourth Agriculture Road Map, a total of Rs 82.85 crore has been approved in this scheme in the financial year 2024-25. At the same time, a total of Rs 104.16 crore has been approved through the Center’s Sub Mission on Agricultural Mechanization. Under this scheme, subsidy is being given on machines like straw reaper, super seeder, happy seeder, reaper cum binder, straw baler, brush cutter etc. It is worth noting that under this scheme, subsidy of 40% to 80% is being given on a total of 75 types of farming equipment.
