Module 6: Government Schemes & Subsidy Mentorship

Although many government subsidies are available for farmers in Gujarat, most didn’t avail them due to lack of awareness, difficult paperwork, or fear of bureaucracy. We conducted step-by-step workshops to bridge this gap with Gram Sevak(village development officer).

Farmers were guided through

  • Fencing Subsidy: 55 farmers applied, securing ~₹12 lakhs for protecting ~220 acres.
     

  • Vermicompost Units: 35 farmers availed ₹10,000–20,000 support → ~₹5.8 lakhs sanctioned.
     

  • Farm Machinery Subsidy: 40 farmers applied for weeders, tillers, sprayers → ~₹7 lakhs unlocked.
     

  • Crop Insurance (PMFBY): 25 farmers enrolled, protecting ~65 acres (insured value ~₹4–5 lakhs).
     

  • i-Khedut Portal Registrations: 155 registrations completed with full documentation support.

Numerical Impact (2024–25)

  • Applications supported: 155
     

  • Farmers directly benefited: ~120 unique farmers (some filed multiple applications)
     

  • Total subsidy/benefit unlocked: ~₹23 lakhs (cash + insurance value)
     

  • Total land protected/covered: ~300 acres

“I never knew I could get help for fencing. With your guidance, I did,” said Haribhai.

 Cumulative Impact: 155 applications → ~120 farmers supported → ~₹23 lakhs unlocked → ~300 acres secured through fencing, compost, machinery, and insurance.
