 Shri Vasu from All India Govansh Sanvardhan Parishad, Delhi
said about the bullock driven tractor, which is efficient, and within
reach of small farmers. If some portion of its cost is subsidized, then
many small farmers may be attracted to bullock tractors. The results are
encouraging. Even women can take up ploughing by bullock tractors. There
is subsidy on diesel and subsidy on tractors. There is no such subsidy on
bullock driven agricultural implements. This policy must be changed. |
