The Punjab government has launched an important program to help wheat farmers, which aims not only to modernize farming but also to strengthen farmers economically. Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif formally launched the “Gandum Ugao” prize scheme, under which one thousand free tractors will be provided to wheat farmers. It is expected that wheat production will increase through this program, and this will also improve the lives of farmers.
Digital Lottery and Provision of Free Tractors
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif launched this scheme through a digital lottery in which the names of wheat farmers were announced. The first tractor came out in the name of Kausar Parveen, a female farmer from Bahawalnagar, for which the Chief Minister himself called her and congratulated her. Maryam Nawaz Sharif also said that 1,000 successful farmers will be given the latest 55-horsepower tractors under this program.
This initiative of the Punjab Chief Minister is a big step to encourage farmers, and it proves that the government stands with the farmers and recognizes their hard work. Maryam Nawaz Sharif added that it is her responsibility to call the successful farmers and congratulate them on getting tractors so that their morale increases.
