Patna: In a huge blow to the farmer community battling for their survival, the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in Bihar headed by chief minister Nitish Kumar has ended subsidy on as many as 48 farm implements, citing financial strain as a result of COVID-19 pandemic.
Bihar joint director, agriculture, JP Narayan said the state government had approved subsidy on only 33 farm implements this fiscal against 81 approved last financial year. That means from now on, the farmers will have to make full payment on purchase of machines such as power tillers and power threshers which don’t figure in the list of 33 farm tools listed for subsidy. This is set to cause huge financial burden to the farmers already battling hard to sell their produce at a reasonable rate.
