AtmaNirbhar Bagwani Yojana

Why it matters

Helps horticulture farmers get part-grant, part-loan support to set up orchards, nurseries and post-harvest facilities for fruits and high-value horticulture crops.

What you get

AtmaNirbhar Bagwani Yojana is the horticulture-sector counterpart to AtmaNirbhar Krishi Yojana, launched alongside it in 2021 with a dedicated outlay to boost the state's horticulture economy. It supports farmers in establishing or expanding orchards (such as kiwi, citrus and other fruit crops), nurseries, and basic post-harvest infrastructure through a similar credit-linked subsidy structure — a government grant component combined with a bank loan and a small farmer contribution — delivered through partner banks operating in the state.
