Kisan Mazdoor Bachao Abhiyan Phase 3: Free Fertilizer, Seeds and Crop Medicines Bring Relief to Small Farmers
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj's Phase 3 Relief Drive Brings Free Fertilizer, Seeds and Crop Medicines to Small Farmers
At a time when rising input costs are putting heavy pressure on small cultivators, the third phase of the Kisan Mazdoor Bachao Abhiyan has begun with a focused service model for financially weak farmers who cultivate up to two acres of land themselves.
The Kisan Mazdoor Bachao Abhiyan, led under the guidance of Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj, has entered a new phase aimed at reducing the immediate cost burden of farming. The initiative is designed for poor and needy farmers who own or cultivate small holdings, especially those with no reliable income source outside agriculture. Its purpose is direct: ensure that a farmer does not lose a crop simply because fertilizer, seed or crop-protection medicines are unaffordable.
Phase 3 began with the free distribution of essential agricultural inputs for the current crop cycle. The support includes fertilizer, seed, pesticides, fungicide, zinc, growth-support nutrients and other crop medicines required for paddy and related cultivation needs. The campaign does not work as a general announcement alone; it follows a village-level verification and payment process so that the help reaches farmers after their actual landholding, family condition and crop requirement are checked.
Why This Campaign Was Started
Small farmers today face a difficult equation: landholdings are limited, input prices are high and many families depend almost entirely on seasonal harvests. Fertilizer, seed and agricultural medicines often have to be purchased on credit, and repayment is pushed to the next crop. For families already living with weak income sources, even one failed or underfed crop can deepen debt.
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj’s message behind this phase was that farmers and labourers form the backbone of society and their hardships should be addressed directly. The campaign therefore focuses on the most practical point of pressure: the cost of preparing and protecting the crop.
Who Is Eligible
The service is meant for farmers who have up to two acres of agricultural land, cultivate the land themselves, are financially weak, and do not have another strong source of income. After an application or local identification, a survey team checks the farmer’s situation before assistance is approved.
How the Help Reaches Farmers
1. Village Survey
Survey teams visit the village and meet farmers at their homes. They assess landholding, family condition, income sources, crop type and the actual requirement for fertilizer, seed and medicines.
2. Verification
The report is placed before Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj. Farmers who fit the campaign criteria are approved for the next stage.
3. Budget and Payment
A separate budget is prepared in each farmer’s name according to land and crop requirement. The amount is sent online from the trust account to the authorized fertilizer and seed center.
4. Distribution
Farmers receive receipts and collect the approved material from the center through the regular registration and thumb-verification process. The farmer does not have to pay from his pocket.
First Detailed Distribution: Dhanana Village, Sonipat, Haryana
The report covers the first detailed distribution from village Dhanana in Sonipat district, Haryana. Survey teams visited poor farmers in the village, checked their land records and household conditions, and spoke with local representatives including the sarpanch and former sarpanch. The farmers identified in this first phase were then called to Satlok Ashram Dhanana Dham for final verification, receipt preparation and payment processing.
Ratan Singh, one of the farmers visited during the survey, was shown living in a very modest household and cultivating a small holding. He explained that fertilizer and seed expenses had earlier been managed through credit, with repayments depending on milk sales and the next harvest. Village representatives confirmed that his family condition was weak and that he deserved assistance.
Karmveer, another selected farmer from Dhanana, had around one and three-quarter acres and a five-member family. During the survey, he became emotional while describing the pressure of arranging fertilizer, seed and crop medicines. For farmers like him, the assistance removed a large part of the immediate financial stress attached to the season’s cultivation.
Approved Farmers and Assistance Amounts
After the survey was approved, five Dhanana farmers received itemized assistance according to their land and crop needs. The total support released for them was Rs 55,170.
| Farmer | Land / Basis Mentioned | Assistance Released | Support Covered |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ratan Singh | About 1.5 acres | Rs 11,415 | Urea, DAP/alternate nutrient support, crop medicines, zinc and sprays |
| Karmveer | About 1.75 acres | Rs 13,315 | Urea, DAP, fungicide, pesticide and crop-growth medicines |
| Gulab Singh | About 1.5 acres | Rs 11,415 | Fertilizer and crop-protection materials as per requirement |
| Kamal | About 0.5 acre | Rs 3,805 | Fertilizer, medicines and crop support inputs |
| Rohtas | About 2 acres | Rs 15,220 | Fertilizer, fungicide, pesticide and crop-growth support |
What Farmers Received
The support was not limited to one bag of fertilizer. The approved material included multiple inputs needed across the crop cycle. At the authorized center, the shopkeeper explained that the farmers received fertilizer bags, DAP or equivalent nutrient support, zinc, weed-control medicine, pesticide for insect control, fungicide for root and disease protection, and crop-growth support products.
- Urea bags according to landholding and government-allowed registration process.
- DAP or equivalent nutrient support for crop strength.
- Zinc and micronutrient support for crop growth.
- Weed-control medicine to reduce unwanted grass and weed growth.
- Pesticide for insect and larval attacks.
- Fungicide for fungal disease and root-rot protection.
- Additional crop-growth sprays for better crop development.
Payment Without Burden on Farmers
A key feature of the campaign is that the farmer does not first buy the material and then wait for reimbursement. In Dhanana, payment was sent online to the authorized fertilizer and seed center before the farmers collected their material. Farmers were given receipts, and at the center their registration and identity were verified, including thumb authentication where required. After that, the material was handed over.
This method helped maintain a clear process: survey, approval, payment, receipt, verification and distribution. It also ensured that the farmer did not have to borrow money, negotiate credit or delay crop treatment due to lack of cash.
Relief Beyond One Distribution
The campaign was presented not as a one-time token help, but as a continuing arrangement for future crop needs as well. The message shared during the distribution was that eligible farmers can receive support for upcoming crops according to verified requirement. This makes the initiative important not only for immediate paddy cultivation, but also for the long-term confidence of small farmers who struggle every season with input costs.
How Farmers Can Apply
Farmers with two acres or less agricultural land, who cultivate the land themselves and do not have another stable income source, can apply under Phase 3 of the Kisan Mazdoor Bachao Abhiyan. The application is to be submitted at Satlok Ashram Dhanana Dham. After the farmer’s information is received, a survey is conducted. If the farmer meets the eligibility conditions, the required fertilizer, seed and crop medicines are arranged free of cost and delivered through the campaign process.

A Structured Step Toward Farmer Relief
The Dhanana distribution shows a complete working model: identify the needy farmer, verify the requirement, release payment directly to the authorized center, and provide the farmer with the full set of crop inputs without out-of-pocket expense. For small cultivators facing high seasonal costs, the Kisan Mazdoor Bachao Abhiyan Phase 3 stands as a practical intervention focused on dignity, timely support and crop security.
