Earlier this month, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz launched another initiative for farmers’ welfare: the Green Tractor Scheme. She conducted the digital balloting for the program.
The first recipient of the green tractor was Muhammad Yaseen from Okara, followed by Talib Hussain from Chakwal and Ghulam Akbar from Dera Ghazi Khan.
Under the scheme, 339 farmers in Okara, 111 in Chakwal, and 276 in DG Khan will receive green tractors.
Maryam congratulated all the beneficiaries, as the scheme provides a subsidy of 1 million rupees per tractor to 9,500 farmers.
