💨 Abstract

The Punjab government has unveiled a Rs 500 crore plan to supply farmers with crop residue management machinery to curb stubble burning. The state government is offering a 50% subsidy to individual farmers and an 80% subsidy to cooperative societies and gram panchayats for the purchase of machinery. This initiative aims to make the equipment more accessible, promote adoption, and contribute to a cleaner environment.
