Mukhyamantri Godhan Vikas Rin Yojana Bihar 2026 - 100% Interest Subsidy on Dairy Loan for 3 Cows or 2 Buffaloes

Bihar government has approved Mukhyamantri Godhan Vikas Rin Yojana for livestock farmers, under which the state will pay the full interest on bank loans taken for dairy. Farmers repay only the principal amount, and the loan is for a unit of 3 improved-breed cows or 2 buffaloes.

Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary's Cabinet cleared the scheme on 23 September 2026. The scheme will run for three financial years, 2026-27 to 2028-29.

Godhan Vikas Rin Yojana benefits and loan rules

This is how the repayment and cover will work under this scheme:

• Loan installments get cut automatically from the farmer's milk sale payments.
• COMFED, the state milk federation that sells under the Sudha brand, stands guarantor for the loan.
• At least half of the farmers covered under the scheme will be women.

Cabinet approved an estimated spend of ₹160.001 crore for the three years, as per the department's proposal.

Who can apply

Detailed eligibility rules are not out yet. Repayment runs through milk payments and COMFED is the guarantor, which points to farmers who sell milk to a Sudha dairy cooperative society (dugdh samiti) in their village.

How to apply for Mukhyamantri Godhan Vikas Rin Yojana

Application process has not started, and Bihar government has not released the scheme rules yet.

Bihar's current dairy subsidy schemes, like Samagra Gavya Vikas Yojana and Desi Gaupalan Yojana, take online forms at dairy.bihar.gov.in, run by the Directorate of Dairy Development. Those schemes pay up to 75% of the dairy unit cost as subsidy. Godhan Vikas Rin Yojana works differently. It pays the loan interest, not a share of the unit cost.
