Punjab Launches Subsidy Scheme for Farm Mechanization: Know All About Online Application
Farmers in Punjab are encouraged to seize this opportunity to enhance their agricultural practices, improve their income, and contribute to the sustainable growth of the agricultural sector.
Punjab's Agriculture Minister, Gurmeet Singh Khudian, has urged farmers to take advantage of subsidies on various agricultural machines under the Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM) scheme. The goal of the initiative is to promote diversification and mechanization in agriculture, ultimately boosting farmers' income. Interested farmers have until July 20 to apply for the scheme.
Khudian emphasized the convenience of the online application process. Farmers in Punjab can apply for subsidies on equipment such as paddy transplanters, direct seeded rice drills, automatic/semi-automatic potato planters, tractor-operated boom sprayers, PTO-operated bund formers, oil mills, mini processing plants, and nursery seeders through the dedicated portal, 'agrimachinerypb.com.'
