Farmers in Jhelum have received subsidised tractors under a new Punjab government initiative aimed at supporting the agriculture sector. The scheme provides financial assistance to farmers to purchase modern farming equipment at reduced costs.
Officials said the initiative is part of Punjab’s broader effort to modernize agriculture, improve productivity, and ease the burden on small and medium-scale farmers. Subsidised tractors will help farmers complete sowing and harvesting tasks more efficiently.
Local farmers expressed gratitude for the support, saying the scheme will reduce their reliance on manual labor and rented machinery. Many noted that access to modern tractors will increase crop yields and save time.
The Punjab Agriculture Department confirmed that the program will continue across multiple districts, targeting farmers who meet eligibility criteria. Priority is given to small landholders and those facing financial challenges.
Authorities added that training sessions will also be conducted to help farmers operate tractors safely and maximize their benefits. The move is expected to boost overall agricultural productivity in the province.
Officials highlighted that the government is committed to ensuring farmers have access to affordable machinery, technology, and resources to strengthen the agriculture sector and promote economic growth.
The subsidised tractor scheme in Jhelum has been welcomed as a positive step toward modernizing farming practices and supporting rural livelihoods across Punjab.
