Tractors play a crucial role in modern farming by making agricultural tasks more efficient. However, many small and marginal farmers struggle to afford one due to financial constraints. To address this issue, the Prime Minister Kisan Tractor Scheme has been introduced, providing farmers with a 20% to 50% subsidy on tractor purchases.
