Recently, the Haryana government lifted the age limit cap on a scheme aimed at providing financial assistance to farmers and farm labourers in the event of death or disability while operating agricultural machinery.

  • Under this scheme, financial assistance ranging from Rs 37,500 to Rs 5 lakh is provided to farmers, agriculture labourers, and market yard labourers.
    • Previously, the scheme stipulated that the age of the beneficiary should be between 10 and 65 years.
  • Now, children younger than 10 years and persons older than 65 years will also be eligible for benefits under the scheme.
