The farmers can rent these tools through TAFE’s digital network, which is accessible through the Tamil Nadu government’s Uzhavan app, or by calling 1800-4200-100.

According to TAFE, the scheme will be implemented with the help of Tamil Nadu’s Agriculture Department and district officials. According to TAFE, the company contributed Rs 15 crore to COVID-19 relief.

According to a press release, the free tractor rental scheme comes on top of the Amalgamations Group’s previous contributions of oxygen concentrators, oxygen cylinder acquisition, and funding for the proposed mass immunization program.
