Neemuch, Nov 4 (NationPress) Under the guidance of Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, the government of Madhya Pradesh has launched the Bhavantar Bhugtan Yojana (Price Difference Scheme), a critical initiative of the Pradhan Mantri Annadata Aay Sanrakshan Abhiyan (PM-AASHA), aimed at protecting farmers' earnings by closing the gap between market prices and the Minimum Support Price (MSP).

This Price Difference Scheme guarantees that if crops are sold for less than the MSP, the difference will be deposited directly into the farmers' accounts, promoting prosperity in the agricultural core.

Specifically designed for soyabean growers, the scheme had its registration period end on October 17, 2025, with procurement starting in mandis on October 24.

In Neemuch district, Collector Himanshu Chandra has ensured comprehensive facilities, including drinking water, shaded areas, seating, accurate weighing, and transparent auctions across Neemuch, Jawad, and Manasa markets.

Health desks and nodal officers have been appointed to ensure smooth operations, resulting in 15,956 farmers registering locally.

Despite challenging weather, enthusiasm remains high.

In Neemuch Mandi, 60 farmers have successfully sold 1,050 quintals of soyabean, while 107 farmers in Manasa Mandi sold 1,182 quintals.

Markets in Jawad are also bustling under the scheme.

Farmers have expressed their appreciation for the initiative for providing a fair price difference.

Dal Singh from Rampuria village stated, "I registered for the Bhavantar Yojana and brought soybeans today. With market rates lower, the price difference has earned me a profit of nearly Rs 1,000 to 1,500. The scheme is excellent; I've secured reasonable prices for my 25-30 quintals."

Bherulal Ahir from Kanavati village added, "My produce fetched Rs 3,698 per quintal in Neemuch Mandi, but under Bhavantar, with the government's rate at Rs 5,328, I've gained Rs 1,700-1,800. We're thankful to the Chief Minister for this support amid low mandi prices."

Neemuch Agricultural Produce Market Administrator Sanjeev Sahu mentioned, "The Chief Minister announced the difference between modal rates and the MSP of 5,328 rupees per quintal. More than 15,500 farmers have registered, and since October 24, purchases have been in full swing, with differentials set to be credited directly."

The Bhavantar Yojana is enhancing economic stability for farmers in Madhya Pradesh, establishing the state as a frontrunner in Krishi Samman — agricultural honor.

As procurement accelerates, it highlights the state government's dedication to protecting producers from market fluctuations and improving rural livelihoods.
