Bihar Ganna Nursery Yojana

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

The Bihar Ganna Nursery Yojana is a new initiative launched by the Sugarcane Industries Department, Government of Bihar to encourage the production of high-quality sugarcane seedlings using Single Bud Plantlets (SBP) technology. Under this scheme, the government provides a 75% subsidy of up to ₹11.25 lakh to eligible applicants for establishing a modern sugarcane nursery. The initiative aims to improve the availability of healthy and disease-free planting material, helping farmers increase sugarcane production while adopting scientific cultivation methods.

The Bihar Government has introduced several welfare schemes to support farmers, improve agricultural productivity, and reduce farming risks. Some of the popular schemes include the Chhoti Nursery Yojana for quality horticulture planting material, Krishi Input Anudan Yojana for financial assistance after crop loss, and the Rajya Fasal Sahayata Yojana, which provides compensation to registered farmers when crop production falls below the notified threshold. The Bihar Ganna Nursery Yojana complements these initiatives by focusing specifically on improving sugarcane cultivation through the production of certified, disease-free planting material.

One of the biggest advantages of the Bihar Sugarcane Nursery Scheme is that a nursery can be established on only 400 square metres of land and can produce nearly 5 lakh sugarcane plantlets every year. Besides financial assistance, beneficiaries also receive technical guidance and training through SRI, Pusa. The approved subsidy is released in three instalments after the nursery is established and verified by the Sugarcane Industries Department, making it easier for eligible applicants to adopt modern nursery technology.

The scheme is open to a wide range of applicants, including individual farmers, JEEViKA Groups, Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), Self Help Groups (SHGs), entrepreneurs, gur industries, sugar mills, and institutes. By supporting both farmers and organizations, the government aims to increase the production of quality sugarcane seedlings across Bihar and ensure that farmers have easy access to certified planting material throughout the state.

The Bihar Ganna Nursery Yojana online application can be submitted through the official Cane Care Portal (ccs.bihar.gov.in). A valid Sugarcane Farmer Registration Number is mandatory before applying for the scheme. For the 2026-27 application cycle, online applications are open from 23 June 2026 to 23 July 2026. Interested applicants should complete the registration, submit the online application before the last date, and contact the Sahayak Nideshak (Eekh Vikas) or the concerned District Cane Officer for assistance, if required.
