AI SummaryMukhyamantri Bagwani Mission: Anjeer Vikas Yojana is a Bihar government scheme made to spread fig (anjeer) farming across the state. Through this scheme, eligible ryot farmers get cash support and high quality tissue cultured plants to help them grow figs on a commercial scale.
This is a dedicated part of the larger Mukhyamantri Bagwani Mission, run by the Department of Agriculture, Bihar. For the 2025-26 period the scheme is taking online applications from interested farmers. The goal is simple: move farmers from traditional paddy and wheat towards a more profitable cash crop like fig.
Mukhyamantri Bagwani Mission: Anjeer Vikas Yojana - Overview
The scheme covers fig area expansion in 32 districts of Bihar. These include West Champaran, East Champaran, Sitamarhi, Madhubani, Darbhanga, Samastipur, Begusarai, Bhagalpur, Patna, Bhojpur, Rohtas, Gaya, Jamui and many other districts. The plant material for area expansion is picked through an e-tender process, so farmers receive good quality certified planting stock.
All financial support is paid through the DBT system using CFMS, which means the money goes straight into the farmer's bank account. Only ryot farmers who own the land they cultivate can take part. The scheme also keeps fixed reservation quotas for SC, ST and women farmers so that the benefit reaches all sections.
