“(i) Financial assistance to the agriculture graduate for establishment of Kisan Drone CHCs will be @ 50% of the basic cost of agricultural drone and its attachments or Rs. 5.00 lakhs, whichever is less.”

Not more than one tractor per bank (criterion (ii)). Banks costing over ₹10 lakh are set up as a credit-linked back-ended subsidy (Annexure-II). SHGs and FPOs of Forest Rights Act patta holders get 90% (up to ₹27 lakh), and in the North Eastern Region 95% (up to ₹28.50 lakh) (cl. 4.3(ii), 4.4(ii)–(iii)) — SMAM does not list the NE states, so we have not applied that from your state.

In such cases, the maximum permissible financial assistance will be restricted to Rs. 24 lakhs/project.”

Only in the low-mechanised regions your state picks, and only for the land you own (proportionate). The drone area is geo-referenced and the money reaches you by DBT; the state signs MoUs with CHCs and women SHGs that provide the drone service (cl. 4.5, criteria (i)–(ii)).

The machines stay owned by the state Agriculture / Agricultural Engineering department and may be run by a private partner on commission (cl. 4.6(iii)–(iv)). Ask your block agriculture office whether your village is chosen.

“4.6 Model Villages of Farm Mechanization … (ii) The State Governments shall purchase the crop specific machines and these machines shall be made available for use by small and marginal farmers in those identified villages at very low rental rates or free of cost.”

A central component, approved by the Ministry: FPOs under a state route the proposal through the State Department of Agriculture / Agricultural Engineering (5.1, criterion (vi)). A contingency of ₹3,000 a hectare of demonstration is also given (5.1(iv)); expenditure above the limits is borne by the FPO (5.1(v)). The machines may later be hired out to farmers.

“5.1 Demonstration of newly developed agricultural/ horticultural/ crop residue management machines post-harvest technologies and Kisan Drones at farmers’ fields. … (ii) The FPOs will be provided grants @ 75% of the cost of machines including the kisan Drones.”

“A maximum of 90%” — the committee may give less. Send the proposal through the State Government, an ICAR institute or an FMTTI; a committee of the Mechanization and Technology Division evaluates it (5.4, criteria (i), (iv)).
