Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is set to launch an e-portal for the new 'Mukhyamantri Krishak Samriddhi Yojana' (Chief Minister's Farmers' Prosperity Scheme) on September 23. CM Yogi will launch the 'Bharat Taxi Program' at an event in Lucknow at 9:30 AM and simultaneously launch the portal for the Krishak Samriddhi Yojana. Under this scheme, farmers will be able to avail loans of up to ₹6 lakh at a concessional interest rate of 6 percent, subject to certain conditions.
The UP government has approved ₹384 crore for this scheme and set a target of reaching five lakh farmers over a period of five years.
**Who is eligible for the Mukhyamantri Krishak Samriddhi Yojana?**
The Uttar Pradesh government has introduced the Mukhyamantri Krishak Samriddhi Yojana for small and marginal farmers who wish to secure long-term agricultural loans at low interest rates. This scheme is available exclusively to farmers who are bona fide residents of Uttar Pradesh; applicants must provide the necessary documentation to prove this. To qualify, farmers must own cultivable land and possess valid land documents recorded in government records.
**What are the conditions for the Mukhyamantri Krishak Samriddhi Yojana?**
Under the scheme, long-term agricultural loans of up to ₹6 lakh will be made available to farmers at a concessional interest rate of 6 percent. The state government will provide an interest subsidy of up to 5 percent on the loan, effectively bringing the interest rate down to 6 percent. However, farmers must meet specific conditions to avail of this subsidy. The benefit of the interest subsidy will be granted only to those farmers who repay their loan installments on time.
**How to apply for the Mukhyamantri Krishak Samriddhi Yojana?**
The Mukhyamantri Krishak Samriddhi Yojana is being implemented through the Uttar Pradesh Cooperative Village Development Bank Limited. To apply, farmers should contact their nearest branch of the Uttar Pradesh Cooperative Village Development Bank and obtain the scheme's 'loan application form'. After filling out the form, you will need to submit necessary documents—such as land records, Aadhaar card, land ownership papers, and a residence certificate—to the bank.
Meanwhile, CM Yogi is set to launch the e-portal for the 'Mukhyamantri Krishak Samriddhi Yojana' on September 23 for online applications. You will need to register using your Aadhaar number and mobile number. In the application form, you must provide your personal details, bank information, and land details (such as *Khatauni* or *Khasra* records). Finally, you will need to scan and upload the required documents and submit the form.
