The scheme has been introduced in Chandigarh and 802 branches of the district cooperative banks, said Mann and asked the farmers to avail the benefits of this scheme.
The Primary Agriculture Cooperative Societies(PACs) or other entities can avail benefit of 80 per cent subsidy on the purchase of agriculture equipment under the common hiring centre (CHC) scheme.
