Krishionnati Yojana (umbrella scheme)

Krishionnati Yojana is an umbrella scheme, not a single programme you apply to. It was restructured so that several previously separate schemes now sit inside it:

• the National Food Security Mission
• the National Mission on Horticulture (MIDH)
• the agricultural marketing schemes
• the agriculture census and statistics work

Why it matters to a farmer

You do not apply to Krishionnati Yojana. You apply to one of the components inside it — seeds and demonstrations under NFSM, a horticulture project under MIDH, marketing infrastructure, and so on. Knowing the umbrella name is useful mainly because state notifications and sanction letters often cite it.

Budget

The allocation has risen sharply: ₹5,600 crore actually spent in 2024-25, ₹6,800 crore revised for 2025-26, and ₹11,200 crore budgeted for 2026-27 — roughly a 65% increase over the revised estimate, reflecting the schemes merged into it.

Benefits come through the component schemes it contains, each of which has its own page:

• National Food Security Mission — seeds of high-yielding and hybrid varieties, farm machinery, water-saving devices, micronutrients, plant protection, demonstrations and training
• Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) — fruits, vegetables, spices, flowers, plantation crops
• Agricultural marketing — marketing infrastructure and market linkage
• Agriculture census and statistics — the data that underpins other schemes

Eligibility is set by the individual component, not by the umbrella. Read the page for the component you need:

• Growing cereals or pulses in an identified district → National Food Security Mission
• Horticulture crops → MIDH
• Storage or market infrastructure → Agricultural Marketing Infrastructure

• There is no direct application to Krishionnati Yojana itself. A request to "apply for Krishionnati Yojana" has to be resolved into one of its components first.
• Component availability varies by district and by year, because states choose what to take up from their allocation.

How to apply

Identify which component covers what you want, then apply to that component through your district agriculture office. Your state's annual action plan decides which components are open in your district in a given year, so that office is the only reliable source on current availability.
