Green Signal to 'Krishak Kalyan Mission' – Big Benefits Coming for Farmers in Madhya Pradesh

In a major step toward farmer welfare, the Madhya Pradesh government has officially approved the Krishak Kalyan Mission in its 2025–26 state budget — a move set to transform agriculture into a profitable and self-sustaining occupation.

With a record allocation of ₹32,308 crore to the Department of Farmer Welfare and Agriculture Development, the government has made it clear: this year’s top priority is the farmer. From crop insurance to modern mandis and improved irrigation systems, every aspect of agricultural support is being addressed under one unified mission.

If you're a farmer or involved in agriculture, this could be a turning point for you. Here's what the Krishak Kalyan Mission promises:

What’s in the Mission for Farmers?

• One Platform for All Schemes: The Krishak Kalyan Mission brings multiple farmer-focused schemes under one digital and accessible platform — ensuring faster, simpler, and direct delivery of benefits.
• 50% Increase in Crop Insurance Coverage: More farmers will now be protected against natural calamities and losses. The government plans to expand the reach of the insurance scheme to cover 50% more farmers in the coming year.
• 100 Mandis to Be Modernized: No more chaos and confusion in the markets. The state will upgrade 100 mandis with features like digital weighing, transparent bidding systems, and better infrastructure.
• New Irrigation Projects: Addressing the long-standing water shortage issue, the government will launch multiple irrigation projects to ensure farms receive adequate water, leading to higher yields.

The Government's Message is Clear:

Farming will no longer be seen as a loss-making activity. The goal is to transform agriculture into a profitable, respectable, and future-ready profession, inspiring the next generation to remain in villages and embrace farming with pride and confidence.

Conclusion: Through the Krishak Kalyan Mission, Madhya Pradesh is establishing a new standard in farmer empowerment and rural development. Whether it's insurance, market access, or water — every step is aimed at making the farmer stronger, more independent, and better connected to modern agriculture practices.
