MP CM Mohan Yadav transfers Rs 200 crore to 1.17 Lakh farmers under 'Bhavantar' scheme

Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav disburses Rs 200 crore to 1.17 lakh soybean farmers as the final Bhavantar scheme instalment in Mandsaur.

"Farmers are our annadata, and the government stands firmly with them as their support and shield in every difficulty. - CM Mohan Yadav"

Mandsaur, January 29

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav transferred approximately Rs 200 crore to the bank accounts of 1.17 lakh farmers as the final instalment under the Soybean 'Bhavantar Bhugtan Yojana' at a program held in Malhargarh, Mandsaur on Thursday.

CM Yadav stated that since the scheme's inception, more than 7.10 lakh soybean farmers have received nearly Rs 1,500 crore in Bhavantar assistance, according to an official release.

The Chief Minister also announced and initiated multiple development works for the Mandsaur district on the occasion. He performed Bhoomi Poojan for a 4-lane flyover on the Mandsaur-Neemuch State Highway at a cost of Rs 51.91 crore and a railway underbridge at Pipliya Mandi costing Rs 5.53 crore.

The Chief Minister further inaugurated a railway underpass built at a cost of Rs 2.06 crore on the Malhargarh-Narayangarh road.

Addressing the occasion, CM Yadav said, "Regardless of weather conditions, farmers are always concerned about their fields and crops. A good harvest brings prosperity throughout the year, but crop damage due to pests, hailstorms, or adverse conditions causes distress for the entire season. Such uncertainty will no longer leave farmers helpless. Farmers are our annadata, and the government stands firmly with them as their support and shield in every difficulty. Farmers are the foundation of our culture, our heritage and the true drivers of the state's economy."

Bringing prosperity to farmers' lives, fields, and homes is the government's sole objective. The prosperity of the state lies in the prosperity of farmers. The Soybean Bhavantar Payment Scheme is a sincere effort to bring economic stability to farmers' lives and is a recognition of their hard penance, discipline, and dedication, the CM said.

He added that Madhya Pradesh is the first state in the country to implement the Bhavantar Payment Scheme through a government system. This scheme has ensured full remuneration for soybean farmers. He affirmed that every annadata would receive fair compensation for hard work.

Additionally, Chief Minister Yadav announced that mustard and groundnut crops would also be brought under the Bhavantar Bhugtan Yojana in the coming years. He said that under Farmer Welfare Year 2026, farmers are being linked with agro-based industries and food processing for value addition, enabling them to process their produce and earn better returns.

Good to see direct benefit transfer. But Rs 200 crore for 1.17 lakh farmers? That's an average of about Rs 17,000 per farmer. Is that enough to cover the difference when market prices crash? The intent is good, but the amount seems symbolic. The real solution is better MSP and storage facilities.

As someone from a farming family in Malwa region, I can say this scheme is a lifeline. Soybean prices are so volatile. This support helps us plan for the next season. Annadata is not just a word, it's a reality. Jai Kisan! 🚜

The focus on linking farmers with agro-industries for 2026 is the key part. Price support is needed, but true prosperity will come when farmers become entrepreneurs, not just producers. Processing our own pulses and oilseeds can change the game. Hope the ground reality matches the announcement.

Development works like the flyover and underpasses are also crucial. Better infrastructure helps farmers get their produce to market faster and reduces spoilage. It's a holistic approach. Hope other states learn from MP's model.

Interesting to see a state-led price deficiency payment system. Often discussed in policy circles, but implementation is tough. MP seems to be making it work. The expansion to mustard and groundnut will be a bigger test. Data on how it's affecting production patterns would be useful.
