The Maharashtra government, led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, has introduced several significant agricultural support measures aimed at enhancing the financial stability of farmers across the state. A substantial subsidy of ₹2,398 crore has been allocated specifically for cotton and soybean farmers, benefiting approximately 49.5 lakh farmers. This initiative is designed to stabilize their finances for the 2023 Kharif season, ensuring that farmers have the necessary support during this critical period.
Additionally, more than 90 lakh farmers are set to receive combined financial assistance through the PM Kisan and Namo Shetkari Samman Nidhi schemes. These schemes provide essential financial aid, particularly during the Dussehra festival, when farmers face additional expenses. This assistance is crucial in supporting the livelihoods of farmers and their families, allowing them to navigate the financial challenges associated with agricultural practices.
In a further commitment to the agricultural sector, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced a ₹7 per liter subsidy for milk producers across Maharashtra. This subsidy aims to improve the livelihoods of dairy farmers, enhancing the sustainability of their businesses. By providing this financial boost, the government seeks to empower dairy farmers and ensure their continued contribution to the state's economy.
These initiatives underscore the Maharashtra government's dedication to agricultural empowerment and the overall financial stability of the farming community. By addressing the needs of both crop and dairy farmers, the government is taking comprehensive steps to enhance the agricultural landscape in Maharashtra.
