Walk in Tunnel Yojana

Walk in Tunnel Yojana is a Rajasthan government scheme that helps farmers adopt modern agricultural technology through money help in the form of subsidies. Eligible farmers in Rajasthan can already apply and build protected structures to grow high-value crops year-round despite harsh weather conditions.

Farmers from the general category get up to 50% subsidy on construction costs, while those from Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe categories get up to 70%. The government transfers the approved amount directly into the beneficiary bank account through Direct Benefit Transfer.

Walk in Tunnel Yojana

Walk in Tunnel helps farmers across Rajasthan by providing money help for installing high-quality protected agricultural structures. These tunnels are built using sturdy pre-galvanized pipes and covered with UV-stabilized plastic sheets to create a perfect micro-climate for crops.

By managing factors like temperature, humidity, light, and irrigation effectively, this scheme ensures you can grow high-value vegetables, fruits, and flowers regardless of outside weather conditions.

You should start the construction of your Walk in Tunnel only after receiving formal administrative approval or a work order from the Horticulture Department. A designated committee will perform a site verification once your structure is ready. The government transfers the grant amount directly into your bank account, or to the supplier firm if you provide written consent.
