In a significant move to support wheat cultivation, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has unveiled a comprehensive package aimed at assisting farmers. This initiative includes the distribution of 1,000 green tractors and 1,000 laser land levelers at no cost to eligible wheat growers.
Key Details of the Initiative:
- Free Green Tractors: Farmers cultivating wheat on more than 25 acres are eligible to receive one of 1,000 green tractors through a balloting process.
- Free Laser Land Levelers: Those farming between 12.5 and 25 acres can apply for one of 1,000 laser land levelers, also distributed via balloting.
This initiative is part of the broader ‘Grow More Wheat’ campaign, reflecting the government’s commitment to modernizing agriculture and enhancing wheat production in Punjab. The Chief Minister emphasized that these measures aim to provide substantial support to farmers, ensuring their development and prosperity.
Farmers interested in applying for the free tractors and land levelers can contact the agricultural helpline at 0800-17000. Additionally, detailed information and application procedures are available on the Agriculture Department’s official website and Facebook page.
This strategic move underscores the Punjab government’s dedication to bolstering the agricultural sector, aiming for increased productivity and farmer welfare.
