The Maharashtra Government announced a new scheme aimed at empowering farmers and promoting climate-resilient, sustainable, and cost-effective farming practices. The ‘Krishi Samruddhi’ scheme will be implemented by the agriculture department over the next five years with a cumulative outlay of Rs 25,000 crore. Farmers form the backbone of the rural economy. The ‘Krishi Samruddhi’ scheme has been designed to boost capital investment in the agriculture sector, improve infrastructure, reduce input costs, and enhance productivity.
The goal is not just to increase yield, but to ensure long-term prosperity for our farmer brothers and sisters under this scheme. This scheme will help bring real change to their lives. Agriculture minister Kokate emphasized that the scheme will support the livelihoods of small, marginal, tribal, women, and disabled farmers, with Agri Stack registration being mandatory for participation. Special arrangements will be made for forest rights holders without existing digital registration.
