MP: CM Yadav to host Kisan Sammelan today
BHOPAL [Maha Media]: Cchief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav will host a ‘Kisan Sammelan’ at his official residence in Bhopal on Saturday the State Government said in a statement on Friday. The event will see the participation of nearly 2,500 farmers from several districts, including Narmadapuram, Bhopal, Sehore,Rajgarh, Raisen and Vidisha and some others.
During the meeting, Chief Minister Yadav will hold an interaction with farmers, and he will share information on the ‘Bhavantar Scheme’ to berolled out on October 24. The scheme would benefit 0.6 million farmers in Madhya Pradesh. The State Government took this step to protect oilseed farmers against a fall in mandi prices. Under the scheme, the State Government will compensate the farmers by paying the difference between the prevailing (lower) market price and the minimum support price (MSP) to farmers. Under the scheme, farmers can sell their crops in mandis from October 24, to January 15, 2026. The Bhavantar amount will be directly transferred to the farmers’ Aadhaarlinked bank accounts within 15 days. This will be the second attempt by the Madhya Pradesh government to initiate the price deficit payment scheme (PDPS) or Bhavantar scheme aimed at ensuring that farmers get the MSP while the commodity is sold in the market as usual practice.
The soybean crop has been adversely impacted by excessive rainfall this monsoon season in the state, and there is fear that farmers may not get MSP in the mandis because of quality issues.
