On Friday, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz launched the ‘CM Punjab Green Tractor Scheme’ by conducting digital balloting in Lahore.
“We want to enter a modern era of mechanization of agriculture in Punjab,” said Maryam Nawaz Sharif while conducting digital balloting.
She announced that Nawaz Sharif’s green tractor scheme has been re-launched in Punjab for farmers after a 12-year hiatus.
The chief minister stated that the scheme will provide a subsidy of Rs. 10 lakh on each tractor to 9,500 farmers. She also inspected four types of green tractors to evaluate their features before distribution to the farmers.
After the balloting, Mohammad Yasin, son of Mohammad Ashraf from Okara, became the first farmer to receive a green tractor. Talib Hussain, son of Muhammad Hussain from Chakwal, and Ghulam Akbar, son of Haji Ghulam Hussain from Dera Ghazi Khan, secured the second and third positions, respectively.
Maryam Nawaz received a briefing indicating that 339 farmers from Okara, 111 farmers from Chakwal, and 276 farmers from Dera Ghazi Khan will receive green tractors under the scheme.
The chief minister congratulated all the farmers who received green tractors and announced that the names of all lucky winners have been displayed on the portal of the "CM Punjab Green Tractor Scheme" and the Agriculture Department's website.
Additionally, the list of successful farmers is available at the offices of the Agriculture Department.
Maryam Nawaz announced that the government will provide 1,000 green tractors free of cost to wheat growers with 25-50 acres of land through a ballot system.
