The government is constantly pursuing technological advancements in the agricultural sector. Many important schemes are being run by the Central and State Governments to accomplish this. The Agricultural Machinery Subsidy Scheme is one of these vital programmes. This is the most important of the government-run schemes for agricultural technical development. The government's goal in running this scheme is to help farmers reduce their farming costs by using modern equipment.

Kharif crop sowing has nearly completed in almost all parts of the country. Farmers will be involved in the care of these crops in the coming months. There is still plenty of time to harvest Kharif season crops. The Haryana government has already begun preparations for the disposal of stubble in this episode. The Haryana government has decided to offer a discount on stubble management machines.

The state government made this decision so that there will be no stubble burning this year, and incidents of stubble burning should be reduced due to the exemption on machinery.

Last Date to Apply 

It is offering a 50% discount to individual farmers and an 80% discount to committees on machines used for stubble management. The Haryana government has asked farmers to submit online applications by August 25, 2022, to receive a discount on crop residue management machines. The online application will be available at https://agriharyana.gov.in/. That is, farmers now have only 20 days to apply online.
