The machines used in farming have now made farming very easy. However, these farming machines are very expensive which ordinary farmers cannot buy. For this reason, the government runs many types of schemes so that farmers are able to buy these machines through subsidy. The Rajasthan government has made a provision of a huge subsidy of up to 50% on the purchase of agricultural machines for the economically weaker farmers of its state.

This subsidy is being provided by the Rajasthan government under the Sub Mission on Agricultural Mechanization Scheme. Let us tell you that as a result of this initiative of the state government, agricultural machines worth up to Rs 200 crore will be made available to about 66 thousand farmers. Under this scheme, subsidy will be given on many machines like rotavator, thresher, cultivator, bund farmer, reaper, seed cum fertilizer drill, disc harrow, plow. Here it is to be noted that the benefit of 50% subsidy will be available to the Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, Small, Marginal and Women farmers of the state. Farmers coming under the general category can avail subsidy of up to 40% under this scheme. For more information about the scheme, you can visit the official website and can also apply online.
