Under the Krishi Vaniki Yojana, farmers can buy saplings for just Rs 10 each and receive a benefit of Rs 70 per plant after three years, provided certain conditions are met
To promote farming and support farmers, the Bihar government is running several schemes, one of which is the Krishi Vaniki Yojana. Under this initiative, farmers can buy saplings for just Rs 10 each and receive a benefit of Rs 70 per plant after three years, provided certain conditions are met.
Under the scheme, the state government provides saplings at a subsidised rate of Rs 10. However, farmers must ensure the plants are cared for and survive for at least three years. The goal of this initiative is not only to boost green cover but also to improve crop quality and increase farmers' income.
Various types of plants are available at nearby forest department nurseries. These include Sheesham, Guava, Amla, Lemon, Mahogany, Teak, Jamun, Kachnar, Mango, Eucalyptus (Nilgiri), Neem, Kadamba, Peepal, Banyan, Baheda, and Palash. A minimum of 100 plants must be purchased to benefit from the scheme.
Speaking about the scheme, Forest Guard of Jehanabad Sadar, Nand Ji, said, 'This is an ambitious scheme of the Bihar government that any farmer can take advantage of. If you buy a plant for Rs 10, the government will pay you Rs 70 after three years, provided the plant survives."
The Rs 10 taken for each plant is considered a security deposit. To receive the benefit, more than 50 percent of the plants must be alive after three years.
To apply, farmers need a land ownership receipt, a photocopy of their bank passbook, an Aadhaar card, and a form available from the Agriculture Department.
Where To Buy Saplings?
This year, the district's target is to distribute 40,000 saplings. Currently, 52,000 plants are available at the Kako nursery alone. If any farmer faces difficulty in understanding the process, they can directly contact the Forest Department office for help.
