“Agriculture is the backbone of Pakistan” – this is a phrase we have been hearing for decades. In the past, many governments claimed to introduce revolutionary measures in the agricultural sector, yet the problems of farmers largely remained unresolved. However, as soon as Maryam Nawaz assumed leadership in Punjab, the deprivations faced by farmers over seven decades were addressed within just two years.

Maryam Nawaz not only acknowledged the legitimate demands and grievances of farmers but translated her assurances into tangible relief, proving that she genuinely considers farmers the backbone of Pakistan. One of her first major initiatives was the introduction of the Kisan Card, through which billions of rupees in relief have been provided to farmers across the province.

From the creation of Pakistan until 2023, previous governments collectively distributed around 20,000 tractors to farmers – a significant portion of which were provided during the tenure of the Pakistan Muslim League (N).

Furthermore, the third phase of the Green Tractor Scheme has already commenced, under which an additional 10,000 tractors are being distributed.
