The State Cabinet HK Patil Insurance

The State Cabinet on Thursday decided to implement the Krishi Bhagya scheme in the current financial year in 106 rain-fed taluks by spending ₹100 crore and set up 100 hi-tech harvester hubs across the State.

Briefing decisions taken at the Cabinet meeting presided by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Law and Parliamentary Minister H.K. Patil said the Krishi Bhagya scheme would be implemented in 106 taluks of 24 districts. About 152 farm ponds would be created in each taluk under the scheme. The previous Congress government (2013-18) launched the scheme.

Hi-tech harvester hubs would be established in 100 locations to provide hi-tech farm machines for harvesting crops to farmers on rent. The scheme would strengthen the Krishi Yantra Dhare scheme launched during the previous tenure of Mr. Siddaramaiah as the Chief Minister. Each hub would cost ₹1 crore.
