Project Details
Brief Background
Agriculture is the backbone of Madhya Pradesh's economy, with a large portion of the state's population dependent on farming for their livelihood. However, farmers in the state face numerous challenges, such as erratic weather conditions, lack of access to modern farming techniques, and financial instability. To address these issues and support farmers in increasing their income and productivity, the government launched the Kisan Kalyan Yojana. This scheme focuses on providing financial aid, better farming resources, and training in sustainable agricultural practices, ultimately aiming to strengthen the agricultural sector.
Objective
- Financial Assistance: Provide direct financial support to farmers, ensuring income stability, especially during adverse conditions like droughts, floods, or market fluctuations.
- Promote Modern Farming Techniques: Encourage the adoption of new agricultural technologies, tools, and best practices to improve crop yields and efficiency.
- Subsidies and Inputs: Offer subsidies on essential agricultural inputs like seeds, fertilizers, and irrigation equipment to reduce the cost burden on farmers.
- Enhance Farmer Knowledge: Organize training programs and workshops to educate farmers on modern techniques, soil health, crop diversification, and sustainable farming practices.
- Improve Market Access: Create better linkages between farmers and local as well as national markets to ensure fair prices and eliminate middlemen.
- Insurance and Risk Mitigation: Provide crop insurance to safeguard farmers against unpredictable weather conditions or natural disasters that may harm crop yield.

- Market Access and Fair Prices: By connecting farmers to larger markets, the scheme ensures that they receive fair prices for their produce, boosting their income and eliminating the role of exploitative intermediaries.
- Sustainable Farming: Training and resources provided under the scheme promote sustainable farming practices, leading to long-term environmental benefits and better soil health.
- Loan Facilities: The scheme facilitates easier access to agricultural loans at low-interest rates, helping farmers invest in expanding their farms or purchasing advanced equipment.
