What is Krishi Yantra Subsidy Yojana
Krishi Yantra Subsidy Yojana is a government-backed initiative aimed at encouraging farmers to adopt modern agricultural equipment. Through this scheme, eligible farmers can purchase approved farm machines at significantly reduced prices. The goal is to improve crop yield, save time, and reduce dependency on manual labor, especially during peak farming seasons.

The scheme is open to small, marginal, and general category farmers who meet basic eligibility criteria. Farmer groups, cooperatives, and self-help groups may also be eligible for higher subsidy benefits. Applicants must have valid land records and necessary farming-related documents to qualify for the subsidy.

The process involves registration, selecting the required agricultural equipment, uploading documents, and submitting the application online. Once approved, the subsidy amount is directly adjusted or transferred as per scheme guidelines.
Subsidy Details and Equipment Cost
Under this scheme, farmers can receive subsidies ranging from 40% to 80%, depending on the type of machinery and category of the farmer. Equipment such as tractors, power tillers, seed drills, rotavators, harvesters, and sprayers are covered. The final price paid by the farmer becomes much lower after the subsidy, making advanced farming tools more accessible than ever.
