Neither the farmers have any information about this nor are they getting guidance. In the absence of this, business people are doing this work. Gehlot was speaking at the virtual inauguration ceremony of Dungarpur Agriculture College.
Gehlot said that the government has gone ahead and taken up the work of food processing. Farmers have come forward in agro-processing. So we are giving grants up to 2 crores under Agro Processing and Export Policy. In this, a grant of 1 crore is being given for setting up food processing units and 1 crore for export units. If a farmer sets up a processing unit, he gets a grant of 2 crores. So far, a grant of Rs 132 crore has been given under this scheme. To take advantage of this scheme, farmers have to come forward.
Gehlot said that there will be a separate budget for farmers in Rajasthan from next year. After our announcement, the Tamil Nadu government has presented a separate budget for the farmers this time. Gradually, all the state governments will present a separate agriculture budget. So we have decided to form a separate power company for farmers' electricity. Farmers are being given 90 paise units of electricity. Did not increase the electricity money of the farmers.
