To make low cost rental machinery and tools available to the farmers and to provide the necessary equipment from seed to harvest in a timely manner so as to reduce the investment cost and provide more returns to the farmers, Rs. 2,106 crore has been released.
The government is setting up 1,615 cluster level machine service centers with 25 lakh worth of combined harvesters. These machine service centers are run by farmer groups and final decision rests with the farmer groups in selecting the desired machine tools to suit the crop pattern and local demand. Availability of Machine tools, their rent, details of those who need to be contacted are displayed at the Rythu Bharosa Kendras.
