The Government of Rajasthan has launched a new scheme for the farmers of the state named Rajasthan Tarbandi Yojana 2024. The objective of this scheme is to provide fencing to the farmers to protect their fields. Under this scheme, farmers can protect their crops by fencing around their fields, so that they can sleep peacefully at night. When farmers grow their crops, the surrounding wildlife and animals enter their fields at night and damage the crop, due to which the farmers are not able to take full advantage of their crops. This scheme has been started to solve this problem.
Under this scheme, financial assistance will be provided by the government to the farmers for fencing their fields. Out of the total cost of fencing, 50% of the cost will be borne by the government, while the remaining 50% amount will have to be borne by the farmers themselves. With this scheme, the financial burden will be reduced due to half the amount given by the government to the farmers and they will be able to easily fence around their fields. The benefits of this scheme and the application process are given below, which candidates can check.
