A major share of farmers in India suffers due to a lack of enough funds to buy agricultural equipment to improve their lands. Here is a helping hand from the State of Bihar with its Mukhyamantri Harit Krishi Sanyantra Yojana that provides subsidies on the rent of agricultural machinery or other equipment. The Central government is already implementing various schemes to improve the farmer’s income and the state is also doing its share with such schemes. Through this, the government aims to improve the farmers’ prosperity by reducing their burden on costly equipment.
The State Government will set up Krishi Sanyantra Bank (KSB) in PACS with an estimated cost of 20 lakh rupees for the construction of the KSB building and other facilities. The Bihar Government has set aside a total fund of Rs.1692.60 crore for implementing this programme. This will help the small and marginal farmers in the state. The scheme makes the availability of farm machinery easier and more affordable for farmers. It will balance the economy of such machinery by providing financial assistance to the farmers. Under this scheme, the farmers will now be able to afford larger machines even for small farms
