In a big boost for farmers across Madhya Pradesh, the state government has announced subsidies of up to 50% on essential farm equipment like rotavators and mini dal mills. The move, aimed at making agriculture more efficient and profitable, comes under the Agricultural Engineering Department’s machinery grant scheme. If you're a farmer looking to reduce tilling time or want to start processing your own dal (pulses) for higher returns, now is the right time to act. The government is inviting online applications through a fully transparent system, where eligible farmers will be selected via a lottery draw. This article outlines everything you need to know — from subsidy rates and eligibility criteria to required documents and how to apply.

The subsidy amount ranges from 40% to 50%, depending on the farmer’s category (caste, gender) and landholding size.
