To boost farmers' income and introduce them to modern agricultural techniques, the Rajasthan government has launched the 'Green House Scheme.' This scheme provides financial assistance to farmers for building greenhouses, enabling climate-controlled farming. Through this initiative, farmers can grow vegetables, flowers, and fruits using advanced methods and significantly increase their income.
Under this scheme, the state government offers a subsidy of up to 50% for general category farmers and up to 70% for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe farmers. Additionally, farmers from notified tribal areas and small or marginal farmers will receive an extra 25% subsidy. Let's take a closer look at the details of this government scheme.
The main objective of the Greenhouse Scheme is to encourage advanced agricultural production using climate-adapted techniques. This scheme helps farmers shift from traditional farming to scientific methods. The greenhouse structure controls temperature, humidity, and light, protecting crops from adverse weather conditions and improving their quality.
Farmers can apply online or through e-Mitra centers. The application process requires submitting the necessary documents. Since the scheme is valid for the current financial year, farmers are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
