During the Zaid season, farmers cultivate crops like moong and urad. This year, they can use the Happy Seeder machine for sowing, which will reduce sowing costs and eliminate the need for burning crop residues or stubble. To enable more farmers to adopt this advanced technology, the government is providing subsidies on Happy Seeder machines. The Directorate of Agricultural Engineering, Madhya Pradesh, has invited applications from farmers for this scheme.
The Happy Seeder is a modern agricultural machine that allows direct sowing without plowing the field. It efficiently incorporates crop residues into the soil, converting them into compost, which enhances soil fertility and improves germination.

The subsidy amount varies based on gender, caste, and landholding category. Farmers can check their estimated subsidy amount using the Subsidy Calculator available on the e-Krishi Yantra Anudan Portal.
