In today’s world, new techniques and modern machines are being promoted a lot to make farming more profitable. However, due to the high cost of modern agricultural machinery, many farmers are unable to buy them. That’s why the government helps the farmers in this regard by giving subsidies.
In this series, a mechanization scheme has been started by the Government of Rajasthan under National Horticulture Mission. Under this, a 40 to 50% subsidy is being given on the purchase of a power tiller, tractor rotavator, tractor mounted, operated sprayer, power operated machine etc. A special exemption is being given to women farmers in this scheme.
Horticulture farmers, farmer-producer organizations, women farmers, and self-help groups in Rajasthan can take advantage of this scheme. Under this, SCST category farmers will get subsidies of up to Rs 1 lakh while general category farmers will get subsidies of up to Rs 75,000 on tractor rotavators with 20 PTO capacity.
On 8 BHP power tillers, general category farmers will get a subsidy of Rs 40,000 and SC ST and women farmers will get a subsidy of Rs 50,000. On the other hand, a subsidy of Rs 60,000 will be given to general category farmers and Rs 75,000 to SC ST and women farmers on power tillers with a capacity of more than 8 BHP.
Farmers willing to take advantage of this scheme can submit their application by visiting the agriculture department office of their district. Farmers who want to apply through online mediums can take the help of E-Mitra Kendra.
