Under the Chief Minister’s Tree Sampada Yojana, farmers will get a 5 percent subsidy for planting 5000 saplings on 100 acres of land. At the same time, 5 percent financial assistance will be given on more than 50 acres of land. Apart from farmers, private institutions can also take advantage of this scheme.
Government to buy trees on its own
The amount will be given to farmers on plants like tissue culture teak, and tissue culture bamboo. When these trees grow, they will be purchased by the government at a fixed support price. With this, farmers will not have to find a market to sell their trees.
Bettering the economic condition of farmers
This decision of the Chhattisgarh government has been taken to improve the economic condition of the farmers. To take the advantage of this scheme, farmers will have to contact their nearest forest department office. There you will find forms related to this scheme. It is very important for the farmer to have an aadhaar card, income certificate, residence certificate, passbook, account-khatauni, passport size photo, and mobile number among the necessary documents.
Need for patience
Now in many places of the country, farmers have begun giving importance to the cultivation of trees rather than traditional crops. Many of such trees are those which give farmers an opportunity to take bumper profits for years. However, farmers need to maintain patience to earn profits from the cultivation of trees.
