Due to the climate change happening on the earth and the recent Biporjoy storm in the Arabian Sea, this year, monsoon rains are either delayed or not raining at all in many states. Because of this, a drought-like situation has started arising in many districts of Bihar. In view of this situation, the state government has become alert and has come forward to help the farmers and has started the “Akasmik Fasal Yojana”. Farmers get many benefits from this scheme.

Through this scheme, the government will provide seeds of alternative crops free of cost to the farmers of drought-affected districts. Under this, seeds of 15 crops will be given to the farmers. If you also want to take advantage of this scheme, then you can take advantage of it by applying under it. The farmers of the drought-prone areas will be provided seeds of any two alternative crops for planting on a maximum of two acres of land. If we talk about alternative crops, these include paddy (certified), maize (hybrid), arhar, urad, rapeseed, mustard (agat), magar (agat), okra, radish, kulthi, madua, sawa, kodo, jowar and berseem. crops are included. To take advantage of the scheme, you should visit your nearest agriculture center. There you will get its complete information and there you can also complete your application process.
