Key Government schemes for Indian farmers, and where to apply
A short, sourced index of the Central schemes most relevant to input, mechanisation, irrigation and protected cultivation decisions. Always confirm current rates with your district office.
Income and insurance
Direct support and risk cover.
- PM-KISAN: income support to eligible landholding farmer families, applied through the PM-KISAN portal and the village revenue office
- Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY): crop insurance with notified crops, cut-off dates and premium shares announced each season
- Kisan Credit Card: crop loan facility through banks and cooperative societies
Infrastructure and mechanisation
Capital assistance routed through State departments.
- MIDH: horticulture development including polyhouses, shade nets, orchards and post-harvest units
- SMAM: farm mechanisation, implements and custom hiring centres
- PM-KUSUM: solar pumps and solar capacity on farm land, through State nodal agencies
- Agriculture Infrastructure Fund: interest-subvented credit for post-harvest infrastructure
Soil and advisory
Soil Health Card provides soil nutrient status and crop-wise fertiliser recommendations through State agriculture departments. Krishi Vigyan Kendras provide local advisory and demonstrations, and are usually the fastest route to district-specific recommendations.
Important caution
Rates, caps, eligibility and application windows change between years and States, and several schemes are implemented with State-specific top-ups. Treat this page as an index, and confirm current details with your district agriculture or horticulture office or the official portal before making a purchase decision. Srivena does not process scheme applications and cannot influence sanction.
Common questions
- Do you help with subsidy paperwork?
- We prepare the technical documents a department asks for, such as drawings, bills of quantity, estimates and completion reports, for work we execute. The application, sanction and disbursement rest with the department.
