Amar Fasal Amar Gari (My Crop, My Vehicle)

Why it matters

Gives marginal farmers a flat Rs 10,000 subsidy to buy a vending cart or vehicle, so they can sell directly to consumers instead of losing margin to middlemen.

What you get

Amar Fasal Amar Gari ("My Crop, My Vehicle") is a West Bengal government pilot scheme offering a flat subsidy of Rs 10,000 to marginal farmers to help them acquire a vending cart or small transport vehicle. The goal is to let farmers transport and directly sell their own produce to end consumers in local markets or neighbourhoods, cutting out a layer of middlemen and letting the farmer capture more of the final retail price. Subsidy amounts are directly credited to the bank accounts of farmers who hold a Kisan Credit Card, linking the scheme to the state's broader farm-credit ecosystem.
