Through this scheme, farmers can get a subsidy of up to ₹50,000 for building a permanent threshing floor (pucca khalihan) on their own land.

What Is a Pucca Threshing Floor and Why Is It Needed?

A pucca threshing floor is a solid cemented platform where farmers can safely dry, thresh, and store harvested crops like wheat, rice, and pulses. During traditional methods, crops are often threshed on open fields or roadsides, where dust, mud, or moisture can damage the quality.

This scheme aims to promote planned post-harvest practices, reduce wastage, and ensure better storage, marketing, and earnings for the farmers.
