Suba Singh, a farmer from Chak Chela village in Jalandhar, is happy that this year, neither will he have to set his field on fire after harvesting paddy, nor will he have to pay anyone to cut the stubble in his fields – this year, it will be done for free.
Suba, who has sown paddy on 100 acres of land, said that the stubble will be cut and lifted from his field by a company for no cost. The company will supply the collected stubble to power and other plants which create biomass products.
“Already, I have harvested paddy on 25 acres of land and the company has already collected the stubble…they will collect the rest once I have harvested the entire piece of land,” he said.
