پنجاب کے لاکھوں کسانوں کے لیے وزیر اعلیٰ مریم نواز شریف کی جانب سے زبردست خوشخبری آ گئی ہے۔ کسانوں کو فی ایکڑ 5 ہزار روپے کی سبسڈی دینے کی منظوری دے دی گئی ہے، جو کہ کسان کارڈ کے ذریعے 6 لاکھ سے زائد کاشتکاروں کو دی جائے گی۔ سب سے خاص بات یہ ہے کہ وہ کاشتکار جن کے پاس کسان کارڈ نہیں، انہیں بھی فی ایکڑ 5 ہزار روپے کی سبسڈی دی جائے گی۔ یہ ایک ایسا انقلابی قدم ہے جس نے ہر چھوٹے بڑے کسان کو حکومتی ریلیف میں شامل کر دیا ہے۔ مریم نواز شریف نے اجلاس میں اعلان کیا کہ آئندہ فصل کے لیے بھی اربوں روپے کی سبسڈی فراہم کی جائے گی تاکہ فصل کی لاگت کم ہو اور کسانوں کو مالی طور پر مضبوط بنایا جا سکے۔
اجلاس میں دی گئی بریفنگ کے مطابق کسانوں نے اب تک 36 ارب روپے کی زرعی اشیاء کسان کارڈ کے ذریعے خریدیں، جبکہ 22 ارب روپے واپس بھی کر دیے گئے ہیں، جو اس پروگرام کی شفافیت اور کامیابی کا منہ بولتا ثبوت ہے۔ نئی فصل کے لیے کسان کارڈ کے ذریعے دوسری قسط جاری کر دی گئی ہے، جبکہ ویٹ سپورٹ پروگرام کے تحت موصولہ 50 فیصد درخواستوں کی تصدیق بھی مکمل ہو چکی ہے۔ مزید برآں، وزیر اعلیٰ کی زیر صدارت ٹیوب ویلوں کی سولرائزیشن اسکیم اور ٹھیکے پر زمین کاشت کرنے والوں کو بھی سبسڈی میں شامل کرنے پر غور کیا جا رہا ہے۔ یہ سب اقدامات اس بات کا ثبوت ہیں کہ حکومت کسانوں کو صرف ریلیف ہی نہیں دے رہی بلکہ ایک مکمل زرعی انقلاب کی بنیاد رکھ رہی ہے۔
Massive Support for Farmers — Even Without Kisan Cards!
In a landmark decision, CM Maryam Nawaz announced that farmers without Kisan Cards will also receive Rs. 5,000 per acre as wheat subsidy. This inclusive policy ensures that no eligible farmer is left out of the government’s historic relief initiative.
Billions in Subsidies for Upcoming Crops
During a high-level special meeting chaired by the Chief Minister, it was revealed that billions of rupees will also be disbursed as subsidies for upcoming crops. This strategic intervention aims to reduce production costs and boost food security in Punjab, while also improving the financial conditions of local farmers.

Solar Tube Wells Under Review for Further Relief

Inclusion of Contract Farmers in Subsidy Program
Another major point discussed in the meeting was the possible inclusion of land leaseholders (contractors) along with landowners in future subsidy disbursements.
