LAHORE: The government of Punjab is all set to launch the “Green Tractor” scheme, which aims to provide small, medium and large tractors at subsidized rates to farmers to promote mechanization in the agricultural sector, here on Wednesday.
As per the details, on the direction of Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz, this initiative will be for one year to ensure high quality for all tractors supplied under the scheme.
Punjab Agriculture Minister Syed Ashiq Hussain Kirmani announced the scheme during a review meeting on Tuesday, which was attended by representatives of tractor manufacturing companies. He emphasized that every stage of the scheme including the delivery of tractors should be fully mechanized.
Kirmani warned that failure to effectively implement the mechanized system would render the initiative ineffective and promised to personally monitor its progress.
