Latehar: Deputy Commissioner Sandeep Kumar distributed tractors and agricultural equipment to beneficiary groups and a cooperative society under the Jharkhand government’s Chief Minister’s Tractor Distribution Scheme.
The recipients were Shanti Mahila Sakhi Mandal and Roshni Mahila Sakhi Mandal, both associated with JSLPS and based in Herhanj block, and the Matsyajivi Sahyog Samiti Limited of Garu block.
The scheme provides a package worth ₹10 lakh, with a 50 per cent subsidy on a large tractor and an 80 per cent subsidy on implements such as rotavators, cultivators and cage wheels. Beneficiary groups and the cooperative receive an overall subsidy of 50 per cent on the package.
The scheme aims to connect women’s self-help groups and cooperatives with farm mechanisation, strengthen their financial independence and make agricultural work more efficient in rural areas. The initiative is expected to help reduce farming costs and increase group incomes.
