Crop Diversification Programme only: it runs in Punjab, Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh, in the over-exploited and critical groundwater blocks of major paddy districts (B.8.1). The Output-Outcome Framework 2026-27 sets no CDP target, so ask your district agriculture office whether CDP runs this year. The cash is printed for maize, kharif pulses (arhar, moong, urd, cluster bean) and oilseeds (soybean, til); the poplar/eucalyptus agroforestry column gets no cash part (table rows B and C show “-”). You must be one of the beneficiaries the district Programme Management Group picks for a 10-hectare cluster demonstration (B.8.4 III). The guideline prints no per-farmer area limit.

Crop Diversification Programme only: it runs in Punjab, Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh, in the over-exploited and critical groundwater blocks of major paddy districts (B.8.1). The Output-Outcome Framework 2026-27 sets no CDP target, so ask your district agriculture office whether CDP runs this year.

Crop Diversification Programme only: it runs in Punjab, Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh, in the over-exploited and critical groundwater blocks of major paddy districts (B.8.1). The Output-Outcome Framework 2026-27 sets no CDP target, so ask your district agriculture office whether CDP runs this year. The machine goes to a group of 10 farmers and is run on custom-hiring basis, not to a single farmer. The list ends with “etc.”: the state may fund other crop-specific machines from the 23% of its CDP allocation kept for machinery, processing and value addition.
“The crop specific farm machinery will be provided to the farming community (group of 10 farmers) on custom hiring basis.

PSS covers notified pulses, oilseeds and copra. Central purchase is limited to 25% of the state’s production of that crop at first (Ch. III A(viii)), so not every farmer’s whole crop is bought. For oilseeds your state picks either PSS or PDPS for a season, not both (Ch. I). Wheat and paddy are bought by FCI and state agencies, not under this scheme.
“Payment to Farmers: The payments to the farmers shall be released to their individual bank accounts though RTGS or NEFT within three days from actual delivery to the procuring agency.”If you sell a notified oilseed in the mandi below the MSP while your state runs PDPS, you are paid the gap between the MSP and the sale price (or the state’s modal price, if your price was lower), up to 15% of the MSP.
Nothing is paid if you sell at or above the MSP (E.4(a)). Only fair-average-quality oilseed sold in your own notified APMC yard within the declared period counts; sales on a sample-only trade receipt do not (E.2.1, 2.10). Payment is capped at the quantity the state expects from your sown area (E.3.3). The Centre supports PDPS up to 40% of the state’s production (4(c)).
“The farmer would be paid the difference between the MSP and the estimated modal price for two weeks /actual sale price subject to a maximum of 15 per cent of the MSP value based on MSP notified for the Year/Season.”For perishable crops without an MSP, when prices fall at least 10% below the last normal season and your state starts a Market Intervention, it buys at a set Market Intervention Price — or pays you the gap between that price and your sale price, up to 25% of it.
MIS runs only on a State Government proposal approved by the Department, when market prices have fallen at least 10% (MIS (b)). The Market Intervention Price may not exceed the cost of production (MIS (e)), and coverage is limited to 25% of production (MIS (g), (h)). Stocks are bought from cooperative societies, farmers’ organisations or directly from farmers (MIS (k)).
“Option for price deficiency payment to farmers : In place of physical procurement, States may have an option to make differential payment between Market Intervention Price (MIP) and Selling Price, subject to coverage of 25% of production of crops and maximum of price difference upto 25% of MIP.”₹40,000 per hectare for planting or replanting rubber, on at most 1 hectare: ₹30,000 in the first year and ₹10,000 in the third.
For growers owning up to 4.00 ha of rubber; paddy fields and forest land are not eligible; a stand of at least 420 plants/ha must be kept. These rates are for the 2025-26 planting round; later instalments depend on the next natural-rubber scheme being sanctioned after 2025-26, and the 2026-27 round had not been announced when we checked.
“Traditional Region: Assistance - Rs. 40,000/- ha – in two instalments 1st year- Rs.30000/- ( Rs.15000/- per ha as planting assistance + Rs. 15000/- per ha as grant for planting material (Poly bag/ Root trainer plants) of advanced growth.

The scheme page says 70% has applied since 2023-24 to solar, interlink chain, chain-cum-solar and barbed-wire fencing. The 2026-27 budget speech calls the scheme “Mukhyamantri Khet Badhbandi Yojana” (₹10 crore); it began in 2016-17 as Mukhya Mantri Khet Sanrakshan Yojana.

The rupee amount of the top-up is ₹3,100 minus the MSP in force that season, so it falls as the MSP rises. For paddy seed growers the price is the OSSC seed price (MSP + 30%) plus the same input assistance (₹3,100 minus MSP) (cl. 3(c)(ii)). Only paddy actually procured by the state agencies counts.
“Farmers who have registered to sell paddy through the existing mechanism of the Department of Food Supplies and Consumer Welfare will be paid Rs. 3100 per quintal, including the input assistance under Samrudha Krushak Yojana and the prevailing minimum support price (MSP).”50% off the price of certified or hybrid seed bought through LAMPS/PACS in the Kharif and Rabi seasons.

This is the budget speech’s description. The scheme order that fixes the per-acre input assistance (the amount above MSP) and its payment schedule could not be retrieved from the department’s portal, so we show the ₹3,100 total only. The speech also says pulses, oilseeds, maize, kodo-kutki, ragi and cotton were added to the scheme, without a rate.

The order fixes the support price but not the payment formula, so we show no rupee amount per kg sold: what you receive depends on the market price you got. The scheme began in 2015 at ₹150/kg (G.O.(P) 269/2015/Fin) and was raised to ₹200 in October 2025 (G.O.(P) 134/2025/Fin); the Budget Speech of 29.01.2026 (para 104) also records ₹200.
