Barbed Wire Fencing Scheme: The Rajasthan government's Agriculture Department launched the Farm Fencing Scheme on July 21, 2017. The primary objective of this scheme is to protect farmers' crops from damage caused by stray animals. Many farmers suffer crop losses due to stray animals entering their fields, especially those who lack sufficient financial resources to protect their land.
