In the first instalment, ₹1,500 crore would be distributed among 18 lakh farmers aming whom more than 80% are small and marginal farmers.
The annual cost of the scheme would be ₹5,700 crore.
Initially, the scheme would cover rice, maize and sugarcane farmers.
It would later expand to other crops as well.
Rice and maize farmers would get ₹10,000 an acre, while sugarcane farmers would get ₹13,000.
The money would be distributed in four instalments.
This will help them through the agricultural cycle and help with extension activities.
The additional income to farmers would increase rural demand and also act as a stimulus for the State’s economy.
