🌱 25,000 Farmers Boost Yields through Andhra Pradesh Farm Mechanisation
The Andhra Pradesh government relaunched its Farm Mechanisation Scheme, benefiting 25,000 farmers in just 45 days. Over ₹61 crore in subsidies has been distributed to help small and marginal farms access essential machinery—from seeders to harvesters (globalagtechinitiative.com, timesofindia.indiatimes.com).
đźšś What Makes It Stand Out:
- Immediate affordability: 50% subsidy at the point of purchase—farmers don’t need to make full upfront payments.
- Smart and fair: Subsidies are fully processed through the Karshak Portal, eliminating duplication and delays (timesofindia.indiatimes.com).
- Inclusive implementation: Special focus on rainfed and tribal regions where mechanisation traditionally lagged.
🌟 Why It’s a Good Scoop
- Rapid impact: 25,000 farmers equipped with machinery in just 6 weeks.
- Empowers smallholders: Tools that save time, reduce labor, and increase yields.
- Tech-driven transparency: Digital portals ensure fair access and disbursements.
