Why it matters

Helps farmers grow high-value fruit crops like banana, fig and dragon fruit with planting-material and cultivation subsidy support.

What you get

Mukhyamantri Bagwani Mission is an umbrella horticulture development programme in Bihar covering crop-specific sub-schemes such as the Kela Vikas Yojana (banana), Anjeer Vikas Yojana (fig) and Dragon Fruit Vikas Yojana, alongside cluster-based horticulture development. The mission provides farmers with subsidised planting material, cultivation guidance and, in select urban schemes, even rooftop-gardening subsidy support, helping diversify Bihar's traditionally cereal-dominated cropping pattern into higher-value fruit and vegetable production.
