Gujarat Kisan Parivahan Yojana
Introduction of Scheme
To ease the burden of transporting agricultural produce, the Government of Gujarat launched a progressive initiative known as the Gujarat Kisan Parivahan Yojana in 2024. The scheme addresses a long-standing issue faced by the farming community—lack of personal transportation to carry crops from fields to local mandis or markets. Through this scheme, the state aims to bridge the gap by offering financial aid to farmers so they can own small transport vehicles. This strategic move is set to empower rural livelihoods and improve market access for cultivators.

Benefits Provided
Under the Kisan Parivahan Yojana, eligible farmers are granted a government subsidy to assist with the purchase of light-to-medium goods transport vehicles. These vehicles are exclusively meant for agricultural purposes, enhancing productivity and reducing post-harvest losses. The subsidy amount depends on the farmer's category:
-
SC/ST/Women/Small & Marginal Farmers: Up to 35% subsidy or ₹75,000 (whichever is lower)
-
General Category Farmers: Up to 25% subsidy or ₹50,000 (whichever is lower)
-
Tractor-Trailer Purchase (All Categories): 20% subsidy or ₹30,000 maximum
This financial support reduces the upfront cost burden, helping farmers invest in reliable transportation.
