State Government Extends Relief to Farmers
The Rajasthan government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, has taken steps to support cultivators whose crops were severely affected by unusually high rainfall during the Kharif season of 2025. To address the losses reported across several regions, approval has been granted for the disbursement of agricultural input subsidy to a large number of impacted farmers.
Extent of Damage and Coverage
Based on revenue assessment records, crop loss exceeding 33 percent due to excessive rainfall has been formally recognized across 43 tehsils in six districts. In total, 3777 villages have been categorized as disaster-affected. Approximately 7.63 lakh farmers living in these areas will receive financial assistance to support their agricultural recovery.
District-wise Breakdown
The highest number of affected villages are located in Jhalawar, where 1597 villages were identified. Tonk follows with 1197 affected villages, Bundi with 534, Bharatpur with 349, Deeg with 58, and Dholpur with 42 villages. Relief for farmers in the remaining districts will be finalized once the assessment reports are completed and submitted for review.
Financial Relief Through Disaster Fund
The approved subsidy will be distributed from the State Disaster Relief Fund, allowing affected farmers to obtain essential agricultural inputs for upcoming sowing cycles. This step is intended to help them recover from the setback caused by adverse weather and sustain their livelihoods during the ongoing agriculture season.
Further Action Expected
Work is currently ongoing to compile crop loss evaluations in other districts that also experienced significant rainfall during the same period. Once their assessments are completed, additional decisions on subsidy approval will follow in a similar manner.
