Background – Why the Scheme Was Launched
The Punjab province feeds more than half of Pakistan’s population. In recent years, climate stress, rising input costs, and low farm income have pushed many small growers toward hardship. In response, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz announced the Sarsabz Punjab Scheme 2025 during the “Khushhal Kashtkaar” (Prosperous Farmer) summit in February 2025.
The plan builds on earlier efforts such as the CM Punjab Wheat Support Program and the Green Tractor Scheme. Its aim is simple: give farmers the money, machines, and water‑saving tech they need to grow more food while using less fuel and fewer chemicals.
“A green Punjab means healthy families, stronger markets, and a brighter future for our children,” said CM Nawaz in the opening speech.
Eligibility – Who Can Apply?
| Category | Must Meet This Condition |
|---|---|
| Land Size | Up to 12.5 acres (owner or tenant) |
| Crop Focus | Wheat, maize, cotton, or any Rabi/Kharif crop listed by the province |
| Registration | CNIC linked to a digitised mauza (village) in Punjab’s land‑record system |
| Age | 18 years or older |
| Financial Status | Must not have received a Punjab agriculture subsidy in the past 12 months (except for the wheat subsidy) |
| Other | Must agree to use the provided equipment/seed as per the scheme guidelines |
Key point: If your village is still awaiting digitisation, you can still apply using the Deputy Commissioner’s (DC) login – the portal will flag your record for manual verification.
