  • Kisan Card holders get priority in tractor balloting
  • Same PLRA land verification system serves both schemes
  • Farmers can use Kisan Card credit to pay their tractor contribution amount
  • No upfront cash needed

9.2 Kisan Card + Solar Tube Well

  • Kisan Card credit can pay the farmer’s 25% contribution for solar system
  • Solar subsidy covers 75%
  • Integration makes solar affordable for cash-limited farmers

9.3 Model Agriculture Malls as Registration Hubs

Model Agriculture Malls serve as physical one-stop centers for all schemes. At a mall, farmers can:

  • Complete online applications with staff help
  • Get documents verified
  • Receive scheme selection guidance
  • Meet bank representatives for Kisan Card processing

9.4 Role of Agriculture Interns

Interns are deployed across Punjab to:

  • Help farmers register for schemes
  • Verify land ownership through field visits
  • Educate farmers about available schemes
  • Provide technical advice on scheme selection
  • Work under Apna Khet Apna Rozgar (enhanced stipend)

9.5 Apna Khet Apna Rozgar Integration

Under this program:

  • Interns receive Rs. 70,000 stipend (instead of Rs. 60,000)
  • They serve as extension workers in specific villages
  • They help landless farmers obtain state land at Rs. 1,000 annual rent
  • They assist new farmers in accessing Kisan Card credit

9.6 PITB’s Role in Digitization

The Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) developed and maintains all portals:

  • gts.punjab.gov.pk (Green Tractor)
  • livestock.punjab.gov.pk (Livestock Card)
  • agripunjab.gov.pk (central portal)

PITB manages digital balloting, SMS registration, and PLRA integration for automated land verification.
