Modern machines have made farming very easy. With the help of agricultural machines, farmers can do more work in less time. On the other hand, farmers get more profit due to low-cost investment. Due to financial difficulties, many farmers are unable to buy these modern machines. Because of this, they lag behind modernity.
Keeping in view the helplessness of the farmers and the importance of agricultural machines, the Government of Rajasthan has started the ‘Rajasthan Agricultural Technology Mission’. Under this scheme, agricultural machines will be provided to the farmers of the state on subsidy. Under this, many expensive and necessary equipment like a tractor, thresher, rotavator, reaper, and seed drill has been kept.
Apart from this, grants will be given to farmers for setting up custom hiring centres and buying drones. A minimum of 30% of small and marginal farmers will be included in the beneficiary list under this scheme. A proposal of Rs 108 crore has been approved by the state government for this mission.
