The farmers received the tilling machines worth Rs 1.2 million.
Mini tillers were provided at 50 percent subsidy, according to project chief Khemraj Shahi. He added that the agricultural tools would ease cultivation and lessen burden to farmers.
The agricultural entrepreneurs, agricultural groups and cooperatives from all eight local levels in the district were distributed the tillers at subsidized rate.
Information officer at the implementation unit, Padam Karki, informed that they would also conduct a monitoring whether the tillers would be utilized.
Last year as well, 60 mini tillers were provided under the project. (RSS)
