Green Tractor Scheme

The approval had been granted in a meeting chaired by Maryam Nawaz and PML-N President Nawaz Sharif. During the meeting, a detailed briefing had also been given on the Kissan Package.
Under the scheme, 9,500 tractors will be distributed among the farmers. Each tractor will come with a subsidy of Rs1 million for landowners with up to 50 acres.
