Bihar Rajya Fasal Sahayata Yojana is an excellent initiative for Indian farmers. India is a state that is often subject to multiple droughts, floods, other natural calamities. Bihar Rajya Fasal Scheme got started to protect the farmers’ interests by securing the farmers’ crops from natural disasters. The scheme aims to enhance the growth of the Agricultural sector of India by lending benefits and financial assistance.
The agriculture and farming sector plays one essential role in the Indian economy.
