Rajasthan Bhamashah Pashu Bima Yojana
Rajasthan Bhamashah Pashu Bima Yojana


The Bhamashah Pashu Bima Yojana is the Animal Insurance scheme by the Rajasthan government. The scheme allows the farmers in the animal husbandry sector to insure a certain number of their animals with a minimal premium amount. They will get subsidised premiums with the state government bearing the major share of the amount. In return, the farmers will get an insurance amount in case their animals are dead due to calamities or other diseases. This article will explain this plan.

Scheme Overview

  • Scheme Name: Bhamashah Pashu Bima Yojana
  • Scheme Modified: 10.10.2015
  • Scheme Fund Allocated: Subsidy on animal insurance premium
  • Type of Government Scheme: State Government of Rajasthan
  • Sponsored / Sector Scheme: Animal Insurance Scheme
  • Website to apply: https://rajasthan.gov.in/
  • Helpline No.: NA

Features of Bhamashah Pashu Bima Yojana

The Rajasthan Bhamashah Pashu Bima Yojana is one of the successful schemes of the state government. With the help of this scheme, a farmer could get up to INR 50,000 as animal insurance for the loss of an animal. The scheme allows them to insure 5-10 animals, depending on their size. Further details about the scheme are given in the table below.

CATEGORY   REMARKS 
Insurance For  Up to 10 small animals 

Up to 5 big animals 
Premium Plan  70% premium paid by government 

30% by the beneficiary 
Cow Insurance   Up to INR 40000 
Insurance For Buffalo, Sheep, Horses, Camel Etc   Up to INR 50000 
Premium Amount  INR 330 to INR 688 paid by the beneficiary 

Benefits of Bhamashah Pashu Bima Yojana

  • The insurance will be for a certain number of animals but the beneficiary will not have to pay a huge amount. Instead, the government will share 70% of the premium.  
  • Death of animals due to some diseases, calamities or disasters are all covered under this scheme. 
  • Farmers who rear a wide variety of animals can take advantage of this scheme.  
  • Both indigenous and cross-breed varieties of animals are included in this scheme.

Drawbacks of Bhamashah Pashu Bima Yojana

  • Rajasthan Bhamashah Pashu Bima Yojana is a good scheme for animal-rearing farmers but it covers only 5 animals for the bigger-sized ones and 10 for the small-sized animals. This will not be a great help for those having more than 10 or hundreds of animals. The insurance is fixed at 5 or 10. This will only benefit small-scale farmers.  
  • The same is the case for those rearing multiple animals on the same farm. The loss will be huge in a disaster or epidemic. This Bhamashah Pashu Bima scheme will need some refinements to include all aspects.  
  • While the government bears a major share of the premium amount, the bearer should pay the 15% service tax, which is not part of the subsidised amount.

How to Apply for Bhamashah Pashu Bima Yojana?

You cannot apply for the Rajasthan Bhamashah Pashu Bima Yojana online. Farmers must have a Bhamashah card to insure more animals.

  • Step 1: You must approach the local veterinary hospital for the same.  
  • Step 2: The local veterinary doctor will inform the insurance company and they will visit you.  
  • Step 3: The doctor will issue a health certificate for the animal or animals concerned.  
  • Step 4: The insurance company will inspect the animal and place the tag on its ear.  
  • Step 5: A photo of you and the animal together, will be taken.  
  • Step 6: The insurance company will issue the insurance after the inspection.

At the time of the animal’s death, you must inform the insurance company immediately or within 6 hours. Immediately if it is daytime, and the next morning itself if the animal died at night. They will send someone for assessment. A post-mortem of the animal will be necessary.

Documents Required

  • Animal’s health insurance certificate 
  • Photograph of the animal you intend to insure, with its tag visible.  
  • Copy of the BPL card 
  • Caste certificate for SC/ST 
  • Bank account details

Conclusion

Bhamashah Pashu Bima Yojana has been a game changer for animal rearers. In the past, many farmers in animal husbandry had to suffer huge losses due to the untimely death of their animals. This Bhamashah Pashu Bima Yojana is brought about to cut down such losses and provide some kind of financial support to the sufferers.

Features of the Soil Health Card Scheme

The Soil Health Card scheme is a wonderful initiative showing long-term benefits for the farmers and their land. See further details about this scheme in the table below.

CATEGORY  REMARKS 
Who is SHC for?  All farmers in any state of India.

Benefits of the Soil Health Card Scheme

  • With the Soil Health Card, the farmers will receive a regular soil nutrient report and a detailed report on which crops will be suitable for which season for the particular nutrient combination of their land.  
  • The farmers will have a clear idea about their soil and can choose the appropriate crop suitable as per the soil profile. It will be more beneficial than growing random crops.  
  • There will be assistance from experts if the farmers require it.  
  • They will get training in various soil management practices, which will help them improve the soil profile over the period and increase their productivity.  
  • The Soil Card will show which nutrients are lacking in the soil, so the farmers need to supply only those that will maintain the soil health and be economical for the farmers.

Drawbacks of Soil Health Card Yojana

The Soil Health Card will provide the details only once in 3 years. The details can be inaccurate if natural calamities or other environmental factors have disrupted the region’s climate. Excessive rain or drought will also play havoc on the soil profile, so it may need a more frequent inspection than what is practiced now.

Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme - DEDS
dairy entrepreneur development scheme

The Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme or named DEDS, is a scheme that helps dairy farmers in their various endeavours and stages. The scheme provides financial support for the farmers for each level, from production to marketing. The Department of Animal Husbandry implemented the Dairying and Fisheries scheme to promote self-employment in dairy farming. The scheme has been implemented for many years, and the Government of India has made necessary amendments to increase its reachability.

Scheme Overview

  • Scheme Name: Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme 
  • Scheme Modified: 2010. 
  • Scheme Fund Allocated: 10% loan or 25% subsidy 
  • Type of Government Scheme: Central Government of India
  • Website to apply: https://www.nabard.org/ 
  • Helpline No: NA 
  • Scheme Type: National Scheme
  • Covered States: The Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme covers all states across India, including Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and West Bengal.

Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme Features

The DEDS scheme helps dairy farmers build or repair their infrastructure, thus promoting clean milk production. Help is also provided in the form of calf rearing and preserving breeding stock. The scheme aims to consolidate this unorganised sector of farmers. Under this scheme, you can get financial assistance of a minimum of INR 6300 to up to INR 11 lakhs under various categories.

CATEGORY  REMARKS 
Who are eligible  Farmers, Entrepreneurs, Self-Help Groups (SHGs), Cooperative Societies, Dairy Unions and Federation, etc. 
Help categories  10% loan on total investment 

25% subsidy for general category 

33.3% for SC/ST category 
Loan interest rates  As per RBI guidelines 
Loan tenure  Repayment within 3 to 7 years 
Subsidy for   Small dairy units, calf rearing, vermicompost unit, milk machinery, processing equipments., transportation, cold storage, marketing and veterinary assistance.  

Benefits of the DEDS Dairy Scheme

  • Opportunity to improve quality and technology of milk handling on a commercial scale. 
  • Provides assistance with infrastructure improvement. 
  • Financial assistance for milk production and processing of milk products.  
  • Create more self-employment opportunities through various categories under this scheme, including vermicompost units, marketing, cold storage, etc.  
  • Measures are being taken to identify and preserve the excellent breeding stock and their rearing for more productivity.  
  • Giving the opportunity to start milk processing units at the village level.

Drawbacks of the NABARD Dairy Entrepreneur Development Scheme

  • Price restrictions are applicable per calf for a 20-calf unit for both loan and subsidy. It is INR 17,100 for the loans and INR 12,100 for the subsidy. This can be a setback for those who purchase more stock at a higher rate. They may get a different benefit than those purchasing with less cost.  
  • The amount is capped for each category for a minimum project cost. This is another concern for those with a high-cost unit in respective categories.  
  • The project was cancelled in the 2020-21 financial year with no incentives to the farmers. So the same could happen again unless necessary measures are taken.

How to Apply for Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme?

  • Step 1. You must go to the NABARD official website and choose the Government Sponsored Schemes tab. 
  • Step 2. Click on the Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme (DEDS).  
  • Step 3. Follow the instructions to go to the application page.

As of now, the latest circular uploaded says that the scheme is suspended for the last financial year. There are no notifications on its commencement so far. You will get more information on this scheme from the local Panchayat.

  • Property document
  • Address proof
  • Aadhaar Card

Mukhyamantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana

The Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh launched the Kisan Kalyan Yojana in September 2022. The scheme aims to make the agriculture sector a more profitable business. It promotes the use of advanced technology to improve the farmer’s productivity. The scheme will also help farmers increase their incomes with extra financial help, which will be in addition to the existing Central Government Plans. This will be beneficial for farmers in the rural and urban areas of the state. The scheme allows an annual amount of INR 4000 which will be paid in instalments after a thorough verification process.

Scheme Overview

  1. Scheme Name: Mukhyamantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana/Chief Minister Farmer Welfare Scheme

  6. Website to apply: http://saara.mp.gov.in/
  7. Helpline No.:  NA

Features of Mukhyamantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana

The Mukhyamantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana aims to increase the income of farmers in Madhya Pradesh. The government will give financial assistance to farmers, which will help them get out of debt and increase their income. This scheme is linked to the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana so that all beneficiaries of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana can also be covered under this scheme. The verification process during the application procedure ensures that only the real farmers are its beneficiaries.

Benefits of Mukhyamantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana

  1. Under the Mukhyamantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana, financial assistance will be given to farmers by the government.  
  2. The amount of this assistance is ₹ 4000. This money will be given in two instalments.

Not only do they have to make an effort for the assistance, but the amount will also be directly credited to their accounts in a timely fashion.

The only difficulty will be if you have not applied for the other scheme. Applying for it will be easy but it may take a few days to get the registration complete and the issuance of the Kisan card. The trouble would be if the instalment due might get over by the time you get the card.

How to Apply?

To be eligible for the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, you must be a permanent resident of Madhya Pradesh. You must also register under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, and be a small marginal farmer with cultivable land for farming. Start by applying for the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, if you haven’t.

There is no separate registration for the Mukhyamantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana since every farmer who is listed under the Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme will be under this scheme as well.

PM Kisan Khad Yojana
pm khad yojana

PM Kisan Khad Yojana is a huge helping hand for those struggling farmers who do not have access to funds for getting quality fertilizers for their crops. This is a scheme under the much-welcomed PM Kisan project where the farmers are getting benefits under various categories. This particular Kisan Khad Yojana is for fertilizer procurement. The benefits are transferred directly to the bank account of the farmers.

Scheme Overview

  • Scheme Name: PM Kisan Khad Yojana 
  • Scheme Modified: October 2022 
  • Scheme Fund Allocated: INR 5000 per year 
  • Type of Government Scheme: Central Government of India 
  • Sponsored / Sector Scheme: PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi 
  • Website to apply: https://fw.pmkisan.gov.in/ 
  • Helpline No: 011-24300606,155261
  • Scheme Type: National Scheme
  • Covered States: The PM Kisan Khad Yojana covers all states across India, including Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and West Bengal.

Features of PM Kisan Khad Yojana

One of the latest farmer-friendly projects of the Government of India is the PM Khad Yojana. This will help the beneficiaries to get direct financial benefits of INR 5000 per year to procure fertilizers. This will be a huge helping hand for those struggling to meet their ends. Announced in October 2022, this project came as a Diwali gift for the farmers.

The beneficiaries will be the actual farmers. The guidelines of the PM Khad Yojana scheme specify who is not eligible so that those in need will get their actual help without any undeserving candidate interfering in between.

Benefits of PM Kisan Khad Yojana

  • The Kisan Khad Yojana is a beneficial financial support for farmers who are unable to afford expensive fertilizers or sometimes, the basic fertilizer requirements. They now will get INR 2500 twice a year to help them achieve their goals.  
  • This Kisan Khad Yojana will be in addition to the already implemented INR 6000 for the farmers. With this project, the annual financial support for the farmers will now be INR 11,000.
  • The application process for this is online through the PM Kisan portal with proper KYC formalities.  
  • The biggest benefit here is that the amount will be credited directly to the beneficiary’s bank account, bypassing all middlemen.

Drawbacks of PM Kisan Khad Yojana

The PM Khad Yojana is a wonderful helping hand for the farmers and will be more advantageous for small-scale farmers. For larger-scale farmers, this will not be sufficient to meet their demands and will need a higher amount. At the instant that is not the case. At the same time, the other projects of the Central Government of India will assist them with this. Moreover, more proportionate financial assistance could have been a better option. This way the farmers will get support proportionate to their farming land or expenses, where applicable.

One Nation One Fertilizer Scheme (ONOF Scheme)
One Nation One Fertilizer Scheme

One Nation One Fertilizer is the latest scheme by the Central Government of India under the Ministry of Chemicals and fertilizers.

The scheme will be under the PMBJB, a subsidy scheme for fertilizers.

Scheme Overview

  • Scheme Modified: 17.10.2022  fv
  • Scheme Fund Allocated: NA 
  • Type of Government Scheme: Central Government of India 
  • Sponsored / Sector Scheme: Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Urvarak Pariyojana (PMBJP) 
  • Website to apply: NA

Features of One Nation One Fertilizer Scheme

The objective of the One Nation One Fertilizer, ONOF Scheme is to unify the fertilizer brand name under BHARAT. From now onwards, all the fertilizer product bags will have their manufacturer’s name, logo, and other essential details displayed only in one-third portion. The remaining two-thirds will occupy the new brand name BHARAT and the emblem of the PMBJP (Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Urvarak Pariyojana). The further details are listed below.

CATEGORY  REMARKS 
AIM  To bring all fertilizers under one brand name, BHARAT 
THE CHANGES ON FERTILISER PACKS  All types of fertilizers, regardless of their brand names will now be called BHARAT Urea, BHARAT NPK, BHARAT Potash etc.  
SCHEME UNDER  Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers 
AFFECTED PARTIES  State Trading Entities (STEs), fertilizer Marketing Entities (FMEs), and various fertilizer brands will now have to change the product details.  

One Nation One Fertilizer Yojana Benefits

  • The One Nation One Fertilizer will help increase farm production through increased availability of nutrients.  
  • The fertilizers will be available at more affordable rates. The farmers used to buy expensive fertilizers due to the reduced availability of affordable brands. The new scheme will negate such situations. 
  • Only some farmers are aware of the various brands of fertilizers. This ONOF scheme will market the products under one name so that farmers can quickly identify the product through the nutrient, not by the brand.  
  • This One Nation One Fertilizer yojana will reduce the retailer’s unnecessary push for specific brands.  
  • All fertilizers of the same kind will now have the same quality per the rules.  
  • The ONOF scheme will also prompt the subsidy for large freight as the cost of cross-country movement will now be cheaper.  
  • The ONOF scheme applies to both public and private sectors of fertilizer manufacturing.
  • This will standardize fertilizer brands across the nation irrespective of the company that manufactures it. 

Drawbacks of the ONOF Scheme

No schemes are without its opposing sides, and this One Nation One Fertilizer scheme is no different.

  • The main drawback of this project is that the fertilizer companies will no longer be able to promote their brands through various activities. The main focus of the fertilizer will be the brand promoted by the government.  
  • The One Nation One Fertiliser scheme will also promote contract manufacturers and importers, so the fertilizer brands will need a significant reassessment and strategy to survive.  
  • Another main point is that the responsibility for low-quality fertilizer, which was on the manufacturers, could now fall on the government. Since the products will now be under the BHARAT brand, the onus would entirely be on the government and keep the manufacturers far away. This calls for further refinement in the scheme to avoid such situations and make the companies more accountable.

How will it be implemented?

The One Nation One Fertilizer scheme was already in the making for a few months. The Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers of India had already started the implementation in August 2022. The background works are underway, and it will take a little time to have every brand of fertilizer under the common name BHARAT. There could be confusion everywhere now, but they will all vanish sooner than later. The One Nation One Fertiliser scheme will help break the monopoly of certain brands in the fertilizer market. These brands can no longer pull the strings and manipulate the product price. All of these will now be under government directives.

Conclusion

When the One Nation One Fertilizer scheme is implemented well and managed successfully, farmers can now have fertilizers for much cheaper rates. It will significantly impact their budget and overall profits in the end. You just need to wait and watch how it all turns out!

sheep farming


Sheep and goat farming is done for the meat and wool business. But the main question is how profitable are these businesses. Whether it is goat farming or sheep farming, both have additional benefits in the form of manure so there really are no major drawbacks. Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, etc are the leading states in sheep farming.

Roughly, you can expect an income of INR 4000-5000 per sheep. The sheep are sold at INR 100-200 per kg. Each state will have a different rate for the per kg weight. Profit is more when you have 100 or more sheep to rear. Apart from the sheep, you can also make profits from the manure it produces. The manure earns roughly INR 50K at a rate of 1500 per ton of manure. Here in this article, you will read the details of sheep farming.

What is sheep farming?

Sheep farming is a branch of animal husbandry to raise and breed sheep for commercial purposes. Sheep are raised for their milk, sheepskin, wool, or meat. Depending on the climatic conditions different breeds of sheep are raised. It is one of the oldest and most profitable businesses in India. Both indigenous sheep breeds and crossbred sheep species are reared.

Main reasons to start farming

  • The primary reason for sheep farming is that it requires minimal investment. The modern sheep farming business can easily find loans so it is not a great burden on you.
  • It is easier to raise sheep in a limited space.
  • Taking care of the flock is trouble-free and you don’t need too much labor power to sustain it.
  • The main feed is low-maintenance grass which is usually abundant in rural areas. At the same time, they provide larger scope for income in several ways.
  • This is a wonderful idea for the unemployed who need minimal input and can reap better output with proper management.

How to start sheep farming?

The sheep farming business plan should be made according to the space and budget. Once you have the plan in place proceed with the next steps.

  1. Decide on the space for your sheep farm. The ideal space should have fresh water, greenery for feed, needed facilities for their rearing, and good transportation facilities.
  2. Carefully choose the breeds. The success of sheep rearing mainly relies on the quality of the breed. The breed should be chosen as per the local climate to get maximum productivity. Common Indian breeds are cholla, Jaisalmer, Marwari, Magra, Nali, etc. Hassan and Mandya are the popular choices for sheep farming in Karnataka.
  3. The next step is building a proper shelter for them so they can be protected from extreme climatic changes. It should be clean, and airy, with proper drainage, for a pleasant environment.
  4. Provide them with healthy feed. The healthier flock is likely to stay healthier with fewer chances of diseases. You must remember that feed should be according to their age. Just like humans, sheep of different age groups need different nutrition requirements. Sheep are herbivores so you don’t need great investment in their nutrition.
  5. Another important factor to note is to find a veterinarian to check the sheep regularly.
  6. The final step in sheep farming is to find a proper marketing strategy to get maximum benefits. Though the planning comes as part of the first step, the practical side will come in the final stage. Local markets and nearby areas are the best options for small-scale sheep farmers.

Prospects of sheep farming in India

Sheep farming in India is seen across all states. People of each state mainly prefer the local breed. For some large-scale sheep farming, higher-grade international breeds are also reared. This is the main business in Jammu and Kashmir. It is mostly seen in areas that have drier climatic conditions.

Several states offer subsidies for sheep farmers to start their businesses. Subsidy schemes for sheep farming in Telangana are one such example. Interestingly, a great majority of low-cost sheep farming use locally made shelter facilities with thatched roofs and muddy walls. So if you have a low budget you do not need to make an extensive shelter system.
