Krishak Bandhu Scheme

After assuming office as the honorable Chief Minister, various Schemes were announced. Among them, the Krishak Bandhu Scheme was announced for the farmers. Although initiated by the Department of Agriculture in 2019, in 2021, the benefits of this scheme started being provided to the state’s farmers. Through this scheme, the farmers of the state receive financial assistance twice a year, once for Kharif cultivation and once for Rabi cultivation. Additionally, through this scheme, the farmers of the state also receive insurance coverage.

The objective of the Krishak Bandhu Scheme

India is primarily an agrarian country, and West Bengal leads in rice production compared to other states. However, day by day, the prices of fertilizers, seeds, and other agricultural inputs are increasing significantly. Despite the rise in the prices of agricultural inputs, farmers are not getting good prices for their crops, leading to extreme distress among them.

Honorable Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced the Krishak Bandhu Scheme to provide economic assistance to the farmers in the state and boost their morale. Through this scheme, it was announced to provide financial assistance to farmers based on the proportion of their land for cultivation. Additionally, through this project, financial support is provided to the families of farmers after their demise.
