CM Kisan Yojana Odisha is a special scheme started by the Odisha government to help farmers who need financial support. Launched on September 8, 2024, by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi during the Nuakhai festival, this scheme aims to assist around 46 lakh farmers across the state. It is designed for small and marginal farmers and landless agricultural households who work in farming but don’t own land.
What is the CM Kisan Odisha?
The CM Kisan Yojana Odisha is a state government programme that gives money to farmers to help them buy things like seeds, fertilizers, and tools needed for farming. It was introduced to support farmers who were not included in the central government’s PM-Kisan Yojana, which only helps farmers who own land. By including landless farmers, this scheme ensures that more people in Odisha’s farming community can improve their lives.
The scheme is part of the Odisha Budget 2024-25, with Rs. 1,935 crores allocated to support farmers. All payments are sent directly to farmers’ bank accounts, making the process transparent and quick.

Financial Benefits of CM Kisan Odisha
The CM Kisan Yojana Odisha provides different amounts of money based on the type of farmer:
-
Small and marginal farmers get Rs. 4,000 per year under this scheme. If they are also eligible for the PM-Kisan Yojana, they receive an additional Rs. 6,000 per year, making a total of Rs. 10,000 per year. The Rs. 4,000 is given in two instalments: Rs. 2,000 during Nuakhai and Rs. 2,000 during Akshaya Tritiya.
-
Landless farmers receive Rs. 12,500 per year under the CM Kisan Yojana, paid in three instalments. Since they don’t own land, they are not eligible for PM-Kisan benefits.
-
Medium and large farmers are not eligible for CM Kisan Yojana but can get Rs. 6,000 per year under the PM-Kisan Yojana if they meet its criteria.
These funds help farmers manage farming costs and improve their income.
