Madhya Pradesh has prolonged the wheat registration deadline from March 7 to 10 to encourage more farmers to engage in the procurement process. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav recently met with Bharatiya Kisan Sangh representatives to address farming community concerns and enhance agricultural income. Emphasizing the government’s dedication to farmer welfare, Yadav announced a bonus of Rs 40 per quintal on wheat procurement, supplementing the existing MSP.
The state government’s efforts to support Rabi crop growers include a bonus of Rs 600 per quintal on urad procurement to promote pulse cultivation and crop diversification. Furthermore, farmers in Madhya Pradesh will soon benefit from daytime electricity supply for irrigation purposes, aiming to improve water resource management and crop yields. These decisions, a result of discussions with BKS representatives, align with the state’s “farmer-first” approach and the declaration of 2026 as the Farmer Welfare Year.
