What Is Apna Khet Apna Rozgar Scheme 2026?
Apna Khet Apna Rozgar is a new agricultural support program approved by the Government of Punjab. The main purpose is simple: give farmers affordable machinery and give youth a way to earn respectfully.
Instead of depending on old and expensive methods, farmers can now use modern tractors and equipment at almost half the price. At the same time, unemployed youth can start tractor rental services and farming businesses in their villages.
This scheme is not charity. It is a practical step to strengthen Punjab’s agriculture economy.
