The Punjab government has officially launched Phase III of the Green Tractor Scheme, aiming to support farmers by providing heavily subsidized tractors to improve agricultural productivity and promote modern farming practices across the province.
The initiative, introduced through the Punjab Agriculture Department under the supervision of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, is part of the government’s broader strategy to strengthen the agriculture sector and provide direct financial relief to farmers.
Key Highlights of Green Tractor Scheme Phase III
Under the latest phase of the scheme:
- 10,000 tractors will be distributed across Punjab
- Each selected farmer will receive a subsidy ranging from Rs. 50 to Rs. 65 lakh
