The Krishi Input Anudan Yojana is a compensation programme aimed at mitigating the financial burden on farmers caused by crop damage during natural disasters such as floods, droughts, or cyclones. Under this scheme, the government provides financial assistance to eligible farmers based on the extent of crop loss and the area affected.
Key details for 2025-26:
- Compensation amount: Farmers receive financial aid depending on the percentage of crop damage and the size of the affected land. The assistance is directly transferred to their Aadhaar-linked bank accounts via the DBT system.
- Eligibility: Farmers must demonstrate a minimum crop damage of 33% to qualify for compensation under this scheme.
- Coverage: Both land-owning farmers and tenant farmers (non-raiyyats) are eligible, provided they meet the specified criteria.
This initiative ensures that farmers can recover from losses and reinvest in the next cropping cycle, thus promoting agricultural sustainability.
