Punjab Green Tractor Scheme 2024: 1000 Free Tractors for Farmers

The Punjab government has officially relaunched the long-awaited “Green Tractor Scheme,” aiming to support farmers by providing modern farming equipment to boost agricultural productivity. The scheme, initially introduced by former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, has revived by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz after a 12-year hiatus. Today, she announced that the first 1,000 tractors will distributed to eligible farmers through a lucky draw, marking a significant step towards agricultural development in Punjab.

Green Tractor Scheme: A Boost for Punjab’s Farmers

The Green Tractor Scheme designed to benefit small and medium-scale farmers who own or cultivate land between 25 and 50 acres. The Punjab government has taken steps to streamline the registration process, allowing farmers to register and participate in the upcoming tractor allotment draw. Maryam Nawaz emphasized that the program’s aim is to modernize farming practices and make machinery more accessible to hardworking kisans in Punjab.

Details on the Allotment and Distribution

Under the scheme, the first 1,000 tractors will distributed to registered farmers through a transparent lucky draw. The government has also announced the total number of tractors allocated to Punjab, with further allotment details and the list of lucky recipients expected soon. This distribution process aims to ensure that the tractors reach those who need them most, making a significant impact on their productivity.

How the Green Tractor Scheme Benefits Farmers

The revival of the Green Tractor Scheme expected to bring considerable benefits to Punjab’s agricultural sector by:

• Increasing Efficiency: Farmers will be equipped with modern tractors, making their farming practices more efficient and reducing manual labor.
• Boosting Productivity: Access to better machinery will lead to increased crop yields, helping farmers to meet growing demand.
• Lowering Costs: The scheme provides both free and subsidized tractors, reducing the financial burden on farmers and enabling them to allocate resources to other essential needs.

Eligibility and Registration Process

Farmers who wish to participate in the scheme need to be registered with the provincial agricultural department. Only those cultivating between 25 and 50 acres of land will be eligible for the free tractor distribution.

Maryam Nawaz underscored her commitment to supporting Punjab’s agricultural sector by stating, “Punjab’s farmers have always been the backbone of our economy, and this scheme will empower them with the tools they need to achieve even greater success.”

A Milestone Initiative for Punjab’s Agricultural Future

After more than a decade, the return of the Green Tractor Scheme reflects the government’s dedication to uplifting the agricultural sector in Punjab. The scheme not only aims to enhance the lives of farmers but also promises to play a vital role in the economic development of the province.
