The Rabi season has begun, and farmers are busy sowing their crops. If you hear that the government is offering a subsidy on crop sowing, it might sound unbelievable—but it’s true! Farmers in Burhanpur, Madhya Pradesh, can avail of this benefit specifically for wheat and gram crops.
This scheme aims to make farmers self-reliant by reducing their expenses and ensuring higher profits through better yields. Speaking about the initiative, the district’s Agriculture Officer stated, “A subsidy scheme is being implemented for the farmers of Burhanpur. Farmers purchasing wheat seeds for two hectares will receive a subsidy of ₹300. Similarly, those buying 1 quintal of gram seeds for two hectares will get a subsidy of ₹1,000 per quintal.”
To avail of this subsidy, farmers must apply at the Agriculture Department office. The seeds will be provided from the same office upon successful application. However, note that the subsidy is applicable only to farmers with more than two hectares of land. The application process will remain open until December.
