The government always tries to help the farmers of the nation. They bring different schemes to help them. But then in 2022, people are still searching for the scheme that had been closed since 2012: NABARD Warehouse Subsidy Scheme.

Here in this post, we will walk you through some proofs and facts so that you can get an understanding that the scheme has been closed.

Let see…

What is NABARD Warehouse Scheme

The farmer works very hard at farming to produce important grains. But occasionally, a lot of grains spoil since there isn’t enough storage capacity. Building a warehouse to store these grains is expensive.

The national government has constructed warehouses under the Warehouse Subsidy Scheme for all farmers to keep their harvests, and where they have not yet been constructed.

They will be constructed so that the farmer may get the best price for his product and store it without it spoiling.

The government offers an affordable credit option to the farmer to build the warehouse if he stores and constructs it himself.

Farmers would benefit greatly from the Warehouse Subsidy Scheme launched by the Central Government on 1 April 2001.

Through this program, the state and nation’s farmers received a 25–33% subsidy to construct a grain storage facility. But…

Farmers benefit from Gramin Bhandaran Yojana

The aim of the government for the farmers is that every farmer can get a good price for his crop/grain. This objective depends on the quality of the grain. Therefore it is necessary to store them:

• Reversing the declining trend of investment in agriculture by encouraging private and cooperative sectors to invest in storage infrastructure in the country.
• By having a rural storage scheme in private cooperative sectors by the government, farmers will be able to get a good price.
• Farmers worried about keeping the crop ended.
• The farmer will be able to store his crop as soon as it is harvested and sell it at a good price.
• Selling agricultural products in the market will fetch good prices and control over their quality will have to be promoted.
• Under this scheme, farmers will increase their production and prices.

What should be the capacity of the Rural Storage Scheme warehouse

Under this scheme, the entrepreneur takes all the decisions but he/she cannot increase the capacity of the godown by 100 tonnes to get the subsidy.

If you want to take the loan, then the warehouse should have a maximum of 30 thousand tons.

And if the capacity is more than 30 thousand tons and less than 100 tons, then you cannot get the benefit under it.

Let us also tell you one special thing in some special cases, the subsidy can be provided from a 50-ton capacity.

Whereas in hilly areas, the subsidy will be provided to rural godowns with a capacity of 25 tonnes.

Under the Rural Storage Scheme, you will have to repay the loan amount in the scheme in 11 years.
