Kisan Code Chhattisgarh (KCC), a revolutionary initiative by the Government of Chhattisgarh, aims to transform the agricultural landscape of the state and secure the livelihoods of its farming community. This comprehensive code of laws and regulations provides an umbrella of support to farmers, addressing their diverse needs and challenges.
Chhattisgarh's agricultural sector faces significant challenges, including:
KCC addresses these challenges through a comprehensive set of provisions:
KCC ensures MSP for 25 essential crops, providing farmers with a safety net against market volatility. In 2022-23, the MSP for paddy was set at ₹2,040 per quintal, significantly higher than the central MSP of ₹1,940.
To reduce production costs and improve irrigation efficiency, farmers receive free electricity up to 20 horsepower for agricultural purposes. This provision has resulted in a 30% increase in the area under irrigation, expanding crop cultivation opportunities.
Short-term interest-free loans of up to ₹50,000 are provided to farmers for purchasing inputs, machinery, and livestock. These loans have facilitated timely access to essential resources, enhancing productivity and income.
KCC provides a comprehensive crop insurance scheme, covering natural calamities and crop failure. Farmers can enroll in this scheme at a subsidized premium, ensuring financial protection against unforeseen risks.
The code encourages farm mechanization through subsidies and financial assistance. This has led to a 40% increase in the use of tractors and agricultural machinery, reducing labor costs and improving efficiency.
KCC has had a profound impact on the lives of Chhattisgarh farmers, delivering tangible benefits:
