SMAM Scheme: In order to increase crop production and productivity by cultivating modern methods, farmers must have modern agricultural equipment to do agricultural work. They must do it at the right time with advanced seeds, chemical fertilizers, pesticides and water for irrigation. Modern agricultural devices not only give impetus to agricultural growth. Rather, the economic condition of farmers also gets strengthened.
In today's time, it is possible to do agricultural work with modern farming equipment by doing tillage, sowing, irrigation, harvesting, and storage in the right manner. In such a situation, under different schemes from time to time, the central government continues to provide subsidies to the farmers of the country according to their category, who are unable to buy modern agricultural equipment.
