In a major relief to lakhs of farmers in the state, Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary transferred an amount of more than Rs 200 crore through DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) to the bank accounts of more than 3.96 lakh affected farmers under the ‘Agriculture Input Subsidy Scheme’. This amount has been given to those farmers whose crops were destroyed due to storm, unseasonal rain and hailstorm in March 2026.

Benefits to farmers of 13 districts

Due to the natural disaster in March 2026, there was a crop loss of more than 33 percent in 13 districts. These districts include Saharsa, Samastipur, Muzaffarpur, Madhepura, Araria, Begusarai, Purnia, Darbhanga, Kishanganj, Khagaria, Madhubani, Supaul and Bhagalpur. The process of distributing relief money was started after receiving reports about the affected farmers.

Provision of Rs 260.71 crore for farmers

The Chief Minister said that the Disaster Management Department provided Rs 200 crore for agricultural input subsidy. Apart from this, an additional amount of Rs 60.71 crore was sanctioned on the request of the Agriculture Department. In this way, a total provision of Rs 260.71 crore has been made to help the affected farmers. The purpose of ‘Agriculture Input Subsidy Scheme’ is not only to provide financial assistance, but it also creates confidence and stability among the farmers. This help will enable farmers to resume farming and strengthen their economic position.

What is Agricultural Input Subsidy Scheme?

Under the Agricultural Input Subsidy Scheme, farmers get financial help for crop loss due to natural disasters. This includes both Rabi and Kharif crops. Under this scheme, a farmer family (consisting of husband, wife and minor children) is entitled to get assistance for a maximum of 2 hectares (494 decimals) of land. Family information is verified through Aadhaar.

Farmers can apply for compensation for the loss of only one crop at a time under this scheme. This includes losses to crops like wheat, Rabi pulses, maize, vegetables, sugarcane, perennial crops and medicinal and aromatic plants.

Other farmers will also get help soon

Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary said that crops have been damaged in about 13 districts of Bihar due to storm and rain. The amount of assistance will soon be released to those farmers whose accounts have not yet received money. The Chief Minister also appealed to the farmers to join the ‘Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana’ to ensure economic security during natural disasters.
