Maryam Nawaz is the Chief Minister of Punjab. Under her leadership, Punjab is focusing on farmer-first policies: water saving, modern irrigation, climate-smart practices, and fair access for small and women farmers. This website shares public information about PRIAT Punjab (Punjab Resilient and Inclusive Agriculture Transformation) and other Punjab Agriculture Schemes 2025-26 in simple language for farmers.
What Is PRIAT Punjab?
PRIAT stands for Punjab Resilient and Inclusive Agriculture Transformation. It is a multi-year program with support from international partners like the World Bank.
Core Vision of PRIAT Punjab:
- Resilience: Protecting farmers from floods, droughts, and climate shocks.
- Inclusivity: Ensuring women, small farmers, and vulnerable households benefit equally.
- Transformation: Promoting modern practices such as HEIS Subsidy Punjab, Solar Irrigation Subsidy Punjab, and Post-Harvest Management.
What is the purpose of PRIAT?
The purpose of PRIAT (Punjab Resilient and Inclusive Agriculture Transformation) is to modernize agriculture in Punjab by providing interest-free loans, machinery subsidies, solar irrigation support, and flood relief. Its main goal is to build a climate-resilient and inclusive farming system where small farmers, tenant growers, and women farmers receive equal opportunities to access government support and modern technology.
What is the agriculture transformation plan in Punjab?
The Agriculture Transformation Plan of Punjab focuses on shifting traditional farming toward a technology-based and cost-efficient model. Under this plan, the government is offering high-tech machinery through interest-free loans, solar-powered tube-wells to reduce diesel costs, drip and sprinkler irrigation systems (HEIS) to save water, Agri Malls for one-window services, digital advisory platforms, paid internships for agri graduates, and crop insurance for financial protection.
What is the supply of water for agriculture?
Agriculture in Punjab mainly depends on canal water and tube-well irrigation. To improve water availability and reduce wastage, the Punjab government has introduced Watercourse Improvement Programs, Solar Irrigation Subsidies, Rainwater Harvesting Projects, and HEIS (drip and sprinkler systems). These initiatives ensure that farmers can access a reliable, affordable, and sustainable water supply for year-round cultivation.
Punjab is the backbone of Pakistan’s food supply, but farming here is under serious pressure. Water shortage, expensive inputs, rising diesel and electricity costs, and repeated floods damage crops every year. To solve these problems, the Government of Punjab has started the Punjab Resilient and Inclusive Agriculture Transformation (PRIAT Punjab Agriculture Schemes 2025-26).
This program is a complete package that combines modern irrigation, solar energy, farmer subsidies, and flood relief support. PRIAT Punjab will make agriculture more resilient, inclusive, and productive for every farmer.
