How to Apply
Farmers should navigate to the department’s website and locate the Kisan Corner. From there, they can select the “Machinery Booking” option and complete the short online form.

Need More Help?
For queries that cannot be resolved online, cultivators are advised to contact their respective district Agriculture Department offices. Staff there can provide personalised guidance and address any technical concerns.
Why This Initiative Matters
By subsidising modern equipment, the state aims to accelerate mechanisation, improve productivity and reduce the environmental impact of crop‑residue burning. The timing—just before the Dussehra festival—offers farmers a timely opportunity to upgrade their tools ahead of the upcoming sowing season.
