The State Government of Jharkhand launched the Mukhya Mantri Krishi Aashirwad Yojna (MMKAY) to improve the financial situation of the farmers. The MMKAY is an ambitious scheme for supporting the farmers financially and providing them with timely investment assistance before the Kharif season. 

The primary objective of the MMKAY scheme is the reduction of the dependency of the farmers on non-institutional private lenders/loans. Under this yojana, the Jharkhand State targets around 22.76 lakh farmers for the financial year 2019-20 in a planned manner covering a Kharif cropped area of around 45 lakh acres.

Mukhya Mantri Krishi Aashirwad Yojana Eligibility Criteria

The following farmers are eligible for obtaining benefits under the MMKAY:

  • All the marginal and small farmers of the state of Jharkhand are eligible for this yojana.
  • The farmers must have cultivable land up to a maximum of 5 acres. 
  • Only the poor and small farmers can avail the benefits of this yojana.
  • The farmers must be permanent residents of Jharkhand. 

Benefits Under MMKAY

The beneficiaries of the MMKAY will get Rs.5,000 per acre every year through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) in their bank account. The farmers can use this benefit received for the following purposes:

  • Purchase of seed.
  • Hiring of farm equipment.
  • Labour and land preparation.
  • Purchase of fertilisers.
  • Any other agriculture-related work.

A farmer who has more than 5 acres of cultivable land will not be given the benefits of this yojana. The government will give the amount to the beneficiaries under this yojana in two or more instalments. However, the applicants must have a bank account for obtaining benefits under this scheme.
