What’s New in Phase 2 (2025) vs Phase 1

• Priority groups: Small farmers, women, and youth are given preferential slots.

These enhancements aim to correct weaknesses seen in Phase 1 and ensure broader, fairer reach.

Real Impact: Stories from the Field

In Phase 1, farmers in districts like Okara, Chakwal, and DG Khan were selected and delivered tractors. One such beneficiary, Mohammad Yasin from Okara, received his tractor through the digital draw and attributed significant savings in diesel and labor in his cropping cycle.

For many small holders, getting access to mechanization means less manual labor, faster sowing/harvesting, higher yields, and the possibility to farm more land. This kind of transformation can change the fate of households.

Who’s Driving This? The Leadership Backing

Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif is the front-runner behind this initiative. Under her tenure, the Punjab government is pushing multiple pro-farmer programs, including the Green Agri Mall, irrigation reforms, and subsidies in seeds/fertilizers.

While her personal net worth isn’t publicly tied to any single scheme, her political platform emphasizes rural uplift, mechanization, climate resilience, and modern governance. The Green Tractor Scheme Phase 2 is a flagship component of that vision.

What Could Go Wrong? Challenges & Risks

Every ambitious program faces hurdles. Here are some to watch:

• Mismatch in land & CNIC records leading to rejections
• Defaulters or blacklists disqualifying genuine farmers
• Tractor delivery delays due to supply chain issues
• Maintenance & spare part access far from district centers
• Overcrowding in certain districts causing stiff competition
• Lack of awareness or digital literacy among remote farmers

Addressing these will require strong district-level administration, transparent grievance cells, robust logistics, and outreach campaigns.
