₹Benefits & Entitlement Breakdown

Protects standing agricultural crops from damage by stray cattle, wild boars, and nilgai without harming the animals. Provides a 60% capital subsidy (up to ₹1,43,000 per hectare) for installing a solar-powered bio-fencing system consisting of solar panels, battery, energizer, and non-lethal pulsating wires.
