AI SummaryAssam government is running Mukhya Mantri Krishi Sa Sajuli Yozana 2026 to give a one-time cash support of ₹5000 to each small and marginal farmer for buying farm tools and equipment. Directorate of Agriculture, Assam is the main department running this scheme, and the target is to cover around 5 lakh farmers across the state. Payment goes straight to the farmer's bank account through DBT.
Farm mechanisation is the main aim here. Many small farmers in Assam still depend on manual work for daily farm tasks, which slows down yield and adds to labour cost. So this ₹5000 support gives them a small push to buy scientific tools like weeders, sprayers, hand tools, and other implements that make farm work easier.
How to Apply for Mukhya Mantri Krishi Sa Sajuli Yozana 2026
Application process is fully offline. You cannot apply online, and there is no separate portal for registration. The Directorate of Agriculture announces the apply dates through newspaper ads and local media, and applications are collected by the Agriculture Extension Assistant (AEA) at the village or block level. Here are the steps in simple form.
STEP 1 - Keep an eye on local Assamese and English newspapers and TV channels. Agriculture Department publishes an ad when the apply window opens for the year. You can also check with your nearest AEA office or Krishi Vigyan Kendra for the exact dates.
STEP 2 - Download the application form in Assamese or English from the official website diragri.assam.gov.in, or collect a printed copy from the AEA office. Fill in your name, age, land details, bank account number, IFSC code, and active mobile number.
STEP 3 - Attach self-attested copies of the required documents like Aadhaar card, residence proof, bank passbook, land record, and caste certificate if you belong to SC or ST category. Also sign the undertaking form which says the ₹5000 will be used only to buy farm tools.
STEP 4 - Submit the filled form with all documents at your Agriculture Extension Assistant office. Village-level officers will make a rough list, and Agriculture Development Officer (ADO) will check the details on the ground.
STEP 5 - District Level Committee, headed by the Deputy Commissioner, gives the final approval. Reservation is kept at 7% for SC, 10% for ST(P), and 5% for ST(H) as per the state rules.
STEP 6 - Once your name is in the final list, ₹5000 is sent to your bank account through RTGS or NEFT from the ASFAC account. You will get an SMS on your registered mobile once the payment is done.
Farmers who already hold a Kisan Credit Card (KCC) can also apply, as KCC holders are treated as active cultivators.

Benefits of Mukhya Mantri Krishi Sa Sajuli Yozana
This scheme is not a big loan or a fancy subsidy. It is a small but useful cash help that lets a small farmer buy the basic tools needed for daily farm work. Cost of farm implements has gone up in the last few years, so ₹5000 straight in the bank account really eases the pressure at the start of the season.
The main benefits are given below.
- Cash benefit of ₹5000 is sent directly to the farmer's bank account, so there is no middleman and no cash handling at the block office.
- Farm work becomes easier because farmers can buy weeders, sprayers, sickles, spades and small hand tools instead of doing everything manually.
- Cultivation cost comes down as labour requirement reduces after buying proper tools, and the same farmer can manage more area with less effort.
- Reservation is protected for SC, ST(P) and ST(H) farmers so that support reaches every section of the farming community.
