The initiative focuses on a broad array of modern tools aimed at transforming Indian agriculture and reducing reliance on manual labour. Principal categories include:
- Farm Machinery Banks
- Custom Hiring Centres (project costs up to ₹30 lakh)
- Agricultural drones
- Standalone farm implements
- Crop‑residue management solutions
- Machinery for maize and millet cultivation
- Protective agricultural gear
Step‑by‑Step Application Guide
Farmers should visit the department’s website, head to the Kisan Corner, and choose the “Machinery Booking” link. A brief online form must be completed, after which applicants can view detailed specifications for each eligible item, the exact subsidy rates, and the complete procedural checklist.
Assistance for Applicants
If any doubts remain after using the portal, farmers are encouraged to approach their local district Agriculture Department office. Officials there can offer personalised support and resolve any technical issues.
Significance of the Initiative
By providing financial support for contemporary equipment, Uttar Pradesh aims to speed up mechanisation, boost yields and curb the environmental damage caused by crop‑residue burning. Launching the scheme just before Dussehra gives cultivators a timely chance to modernise their tools ahead of the upcoming sowing cycle.
