JORHAT, May 18: Even after the Centre released funds for distribution of power tillers among 500 farmers who had applied for 100 power tillers from the government under the Rastriya Krishi Vikash Yojana (RKVY) in 2009-10, the farmers are yet to receive the tillers. With the Kharif crop season round the corner and apathy on part of the Agriculture Department, the farmers are facing a lot of problems.
The farmers said that they applied for the power tillers by forming self help groups (SHGs) in 2009. They alleged that the Agriculture Department was not showing any concern to release the power tillers to the farmers for reasons best known to them.
