AI SummaryFasal Pradarshan is an agriculture scheme of the Rajasthan Government under which crop demonstrations are organized on the fields of farmers to spread advanced crop production methods and the latest farming technology. The scheme gives a grant on input costs, so farmers can try modern techniques like precision farming, seed treatment and soil test based nutrient management on their own land.
Agriculture Department of Rajasthan runs this scheme for the current financial year 2026-27. Selected farmers use the grant to set up a demonstration plot for the season and share the results with the rest of the farming community.
Fasal Pradarshan - Introduction
Under this scheme, the Agriculture Department organizes field and crop demonstrations on the land of selected farmers. The purpose is to show new and better ways of crop production to the farming community, so that other farmers can see the results and adopt the same methods in their own fields. Demonstrations are arranged in dense areas to reach more farmers, and plot selection happens at the block level.
Farmers get a grant on input costs such as seeds, fertilizers and other required items. For oilseed crops the grant covers 50 percent of the actual input cost, and for other crops it covers 100 percent, up to the fixed maximum limit for each crop. Inputs are made available through KVSS or GSS centres, and selected farmers must use nutrients based on seed treatment and soil testing.
Please note:
- Demonstration is organized in a dense area to maximize reach among farmers.
- Nutrients must be used based on seed treatment and soil testing results.
