The Assam government started the Mukhya Mantri Sa Sajuli Yojana to encourage the mechanisation of farming for different crops and improve overall agricultural productivity.
This programme will provide farmers more options for how to farm, help them make more money, save them time and work, and give them more power through scientific farming practices. Each farmer will get Rs. 5,000/- to buy farming tools through direct benefit transfer. This will help them with their farming.
