MP Chief Minister Kisan Kalyan Yojana 2025-26: Strengthening Farmers’ Income in Madhya Pradesh

On 14 August 2025, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav will directly transfer the second installment of the Chief Minister Kisan Kalyan Yojana (CMKKY) into the bank accounts of over 83 lakh registered farmers across the state. This financial aid, credited during the crucial kharif cropping season, aims to ensure farmers have immediate access to funds for agricultural operations.

Launch and Objective of the Scheme

The Chief Minister Kisan Kalyan Yojana was launched in September 2020 by the Madhya Pradesh government with a clear goal — to provide direct financial support to farmers and enhance their economic stability.

• Each eligible farmer receives ₹6,000 annually under CMKKY.
• This amount is in addition to the ₹6,000 provided by the Central Government’s PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana.
• Together, farmers can receive ₹12,000 annually as direct benefit transfers (DBT), ensuring financial stability and reducing dependence on credit.

Scale and Financial Impact

Since its inception, the scheme has achieved significant outreach:

• Total disbursed amount: ₹17,500 crore
• Beneficiaries: ~83 lakh farmers across Madhya Pradesh
• Mode of payment: Direct bank transfer for transparency and speed

The second installment of the 2025-26 financial year continues this steady flow of assistance, particularly critical for covering immediate expenses during the monsoon-driven kharif season.

Key Benefits to Farmers

CMKKY has a multi-dimensional impact on farmers’ livelihoods:
• Timely financial aid for purchasing seeds, fertilisers, and pesticides
• Support for irrigation expenses and hiring agricultural labour
• Boost for allied activities like animal husbandry, poultry, horticulture, and fisheries
• Reduction in dependence on informal lenders and high-interest borrowings
• Encouragement of diversification in farming income sources

The scheme’s structure ensures that even small and marginal farmers have predictable cash flow, empowering them to plan both kharif and rabi cropping seasons efficiently.

Integration with PM Kisan Samman Nidhi

Farmers eligible for both CMKKY and PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana benefit from dual annual support. This federal synergy ensures that:

• State and central resources complement each other
• Farmers’ incomes are protected from seasonal volatility
• Rural economic growth is accelerated through stable purchasing power

Relevance for Competitive Exams

For aspirants preparing for UPSC, State PSCs, Banking, SSC, and other competitive exams, this scheme is relevant under:

• Government Schemes for Agriculture
• Economic Development & Welfare Initiatives
• State-Specific Current Affairs (Madhya Pradesh)
• Topics on DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer)

Possible exam angles:

Conclusion

With the release of the second installment for 2025-26, the MP CM Kisan Kalyan Yojana continues to be a lifeline for millions of farmers in Madhya Pradesh. Its combination of direct support, integration with central schemes, and focus on timely disbursal makes it a model for targeted agricultural welfare.
