Chief Minister Mohan Yadav transferred Rs 200 crore under the Bhavantar Bhugtan Yojana into the bank accounts of over 1.7 lakh soybean-producing farmers during a ‘Kisan Sammelan’ in Mandsaur district. This marked the fourth instalment of the scheme aimed at compensating farmers selling soybean crops below the Minimum Support Price.
The amount was credited to farmers who sold their soybean crop between December 20, 2025, and the scheme’s conclusion. The government has disbursed a total of Rs 1,692 crore to more than 8 lakh farmers, with Rs 200 crore being sent on Thursday alone.
The Bhavantar Bhugtan Yojana, initially introduced in 2017, was revived by Chief Minister Yadav’s government last year. The scheme allows farmers to sell soybean crops in notified markets between October 2025 and January 2026, providing a buffer against market volatility.
During the ‘Kisan Sammelan,’ Chief Minister Yadav inaugurated development projects worth Rs 69.50 crore in Mandsaur district, including a four-lane flyover on the Mandsaur–Neemuch route and a bridge construction project at Malhargarh Railway Station Road costing Rs 2.06 crore. The event signifies the government’s commitment to boosting the agriculture sector, with 2026 declared as ‘Agriculture Year.’
