The Government of India runs various schemes to benefit its citizens. Many of these initiatives aim to promote women’s empowerment. In addition to the central government, several state governments in India also implement welfare schemes for their residents.
Despite many government schemes for farmers, a lack of information prevents them from fully benefiting. Numerous state and central government initiatives provide financial assistance to farmers, with PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana being a prime example. Today, we are introducing a scheme that offers Rs 7,000 to farmers.
The government has launched a program encouraging farmers to grow crops other than paddy. In return, financial assistance is provided. This initiative, run by the Haryana government, aims to conserve water. Since paddy cultivation consumes large amounts of water, the government has introduced the ‘Mera Pani Mera Virasat’ scheme to promote water conservation.
The help of ₹7,000 Per Acre
The government is offering financial assistance of ₹7,000 per acre to farmers who grow crops other than paddy. If you have one acre of land, you will receive ₹7,000. However, to avail of this benefit, you must apply under the scheme. Applications can be made online, and without applying, you cannot take advantage of this scheme.
How to Benefit from the Scheme
According to reports, the government opens registrations every year for this scheme. Farmers are encouraged to grow crops like maize, moong, millet, cotton, and urad instead of paddy. For this, ₹7,000 is provided per acre as financial aid. Additionally, the Haryana government offers an 80% subsidy for micro-irrigation systems.
