The Fasal Rahat Yojana, introduced by the Jharkhand government, aims to provide financial support to farmers affected by crop damage due to natural calamities, ensuring economic stability and resilience.
This scheme aims to safeguard farmers’ livelihoods by offering compensation for crop losses due to floods, drought, and other disasters, helping them recover and continue farming without financial setbacks.
Under the Fasal Rahat Yojana, eligible farmers receive financial assistance based on the extent of crop damage, enabling them to cover input costs and sustain their farming activities.
Farmers in Jharkhand whose crops have been affected by natural disasters are eligible for this scheme. Small and marginal farmers are prioritized, along with those who do not have crop insurance coverage.
Eligible farmers can apply through local agriculture offices by submitting details of crop damage and proof of land ownership. After verification, compensation is credited directly to their bank accounts.
