Full official description
The “Rotavator/Thresher Machine Equipment Assistance Scheme” was launched by the Tribal Development Department, Government of Gujarat. The scheme aims to strengthen agricultural mechanization and improve the productivity of Scheduled Tribe farmers in tribal areas. Under this scheme, tribal farmers are provided with financial assistance to purchase essential farm machinery such as a 6-feet rotavator or a thresher machine, which they cannot afford due to poor economic conditions.
