Bhavantar Bhugtan Yojana- The Madhya Pradesh government is embarking on an initiative to ensure that the state’s farmers receive the right price for their crops. Under this scheme, the state government will make payments to bridge the gap between the sale price (in markets) and the profitable price into the bank accounts of all farmers.

Today, we are providing you with all the information related to this scheme, such as the application process, eligibility, required documents, and more.
