Best Rural Godown Subsidy Scheme Consultants in Hyderabad

The situation and plight of farmers in our country is something that most of us are aware of. Despite being the primary beings in food providers they have to go through a lot of struggles in farming and selling goods. However, the Government of India along with states keeps launching schemes from time to time that can help farmers in buying raw material like seeds, fertilizers, selling their produce, getting finance from banks, etc. The yearly plan of fixed MSP, debt-waive offs, compensation in case of draught/heavy rains are some of the initiatives taken by the GOI in order to ensure peace of mind to the farmers.

It is quite obvious that most farmers farm two or more different types of produce according to the different seasons in India. However, what this does is create storage and selling problems for the farmers. Let us explain how.

For Example, a farmer farms barley in the first half of the year and groundnut in the second. When the crop is ripe, he will reap it, but due to shortage on the storage front he will have to sell the produce at whatever available price. This shows the two major problems that a farmer sowing more than 2 crops face, first being storage space and second being selling.

To counter selling, GOI sets MSP for most crops to make sure farmers get a certain amount of return on their crop. And to counter the storage problem the Government of India launched the Rural Godown Subsidy Scheme also known as the Gramin Bhandaran Yojna in 2001. In order to take advantage of the scheme people often got to Rural Godown Subsidy Scheme consultants who can help them make the most of the scheme.

What is the Rural Godown Subsidy Scheme?

Now that we know what the government has done to curb the storage issue for the farmers. Let’s read further on the details of the scheme.

The Rural Godown Subsidy Scheme focuses on creating a robust and secure chain of non-urban storage godowns to store farmers’ produce. This scheme is meant to reap two fold benefits to farmers, first being giving them storage space to protect the crop from any natural disaster and second giving them the option to sell the crops at a later point of time.
