The Punjab Agriculture Department (PAD) has asked the growers intended to receive laser land levellers under 'Watercourses Improvement Project' of the government to apply for it till October 10, 2019. Those interested can obtain forms from their respective office of the Agriculture Department (Irrigation Improvement wing) or download from the website of the department and submit to the Deputy Director of Agriculture (Irrigation).

According to a spokesman of the department, the government will provide 1700 laser units to the growers during the current financial year and the applicant should have a personal tractor to operate this land leveller and should not have land over 12.5 acres either personal or on lease. Those providing services of agricultural machinery will also be given preference, the spokesman added.

The applicant should be agreed to level annually 300 acres of land but those who have already obtained laser land leveller in any other scheme of the government are not eligible for this scheme.
