The Karnataka Cabinet on Wednesday approved a scheme to provide free cultivation services to farmers owning up to three acres by hiring private tractors, besides clearing proposals for a drone testing facility, an AI hub and a Shakti Smart Card, Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara said.
Under the Chief Minister's Negila Yogi scheme, the government will hire private tractors to cultivate the land of eligible farmers. If required, it will purchase tractors for use under the scheme, Parameshwara said.
