Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (organic farming clusters)

The table prints ₹5,000 in each of years 1, 2 and 3 — ₹15,000 a hectare in all. The ₹31,500 a hectare often quoted is the whole cluster budget; the rest pays for cluster formation, manpower, certification and marketing, not cash to the farmer. A farmer can claim for at most two hectares (B.5.7(b)). You must be in a PKVY cluster group.

“Financial assistance to farmers shall be provided as incentive for eco-system service and for procurement/ management of organic inputs. Necessary funds under the head shall be released directly to the farmer beneficiaries as Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) in their bank accounts.”

The money goes to the Regional Council that certifies the group, not to you. The scheme covers at most two hectares per farmer; the rest of your land can be in the cluster and certified with the group at no extra cost (B.5.7(b)).

“Certification (PGS or NPOP) 1000 1000 1000 3000”

Register with a Regional Council or NPOP certification body, then on the Jaivik Kheti portal once you hold a scope certificate with IC-1 status; the state verifies the list and the money goes to the certifier (Annexure-XLXIII 1(a)–(c)). The ceiling is said to be that of "component 14-B (3 & 4)", but this guideline prints no such component or figure, so we show no amount. Large contiguous traditional/default organic areas are supported only for certification, at ₹900 a hectare a year for 3 years paid to the Gram Panchayat or state (B.5.7(e); Annexure-XLXIII 2(h)).

“In cases where individual willing farmers or small farmer groups are interested to join the scheme and are located at distance from new/ existing PKVY clusters or large farmers that have not been included in the groups, then such farmers will also be considered as an extension of the group/ clusters and will be supported only for certification under component 14-B (3 & 4) PGS Certification through Regional Councils.”
