What is the Green Tractor Scheme Phase 2?
Let’s move on and talk about what the second phase of the tractor scheme is and how it is going to benefit the farmers. So before knowing this, you people will first need to understand the first phase of the tractor scheme. If you do not know, then let me remind you that in the first phase of the tractor scheme, the Punjab government provided a subsidy of Rs.1 million to 9500 farmers through a lottery for the purchase of tractors. From which the lucky farmers have benefited immensely and have appreciated this initiative of the Punjab government.
And keeping this in mind, the Punjab government is now going to start the second phase of the tractor scheme. In the second phase, the Punjab government will now provide a special subsidy on the purchase of 20,000 tractors instead of 9,500 tractors. That is, now the number of tractors has been doubled by the Punjab government compared to the first phase. If we talk about tractors, let me tell you that these tractors are made nationally as well as imported, with a range from 50 horsepower to 85 horsepower. Therefore, if you also submit your application under this scheme and if successful, the Punjab government will provide you with a subsidy of Rs.1 million for the purchase of a tractor.
