In a groundbreaking move, the Bihar government has announced a Special Seed Subsidy Scheme for farmers to support summer crops like maize, mung bean, urad, groundnut, sesame, and sunflower. This initiative aims to empower the agricultural community with high-quality seeds at subsidized rates ranging from 50% to 80%.
Under this scheme, a total of 2,307 quintals of seeds will be distributed to farmers across Bihar. The distribution will include:
Farmers will enjoy subsidies like ₹117.20/kg for mung seeds, ₹144/kg for urad, ₹103.60/kg for groundnuts, ₹204/kg for sesame, and ₹519.52/kg for sunflower. With these savings, they can focus on maximizing their yield and ensuring financial stability.
To make it even more convenient, farmers can now opt for home delivery of seeds by paying a nominal charge of ₹5 per kilogram. According to Nalanda District Agriculture Officer Rajiv Kumar, the application process has already started. Farmers can apply online at brbn.bihar.gov.in until March 5th, 2025.
This scheme also includes 100% subsidies under the National Food Security Mission and the National Agriculture Development Plan for demonstration plots, covering 1,988 acres of farmland.
If you’re a farmer in Bihar, don’t miss this golden opportunity. The government has set district-level targets, ensuring widespread benefits. But act fast—applications close on March 5th!
Apply now at brbn.bihar.gov.in and secure your seeds at a subsidized price.
