Government Extends Application Deadline for SC/ST Farmer Women Land Ownership Scheme in Karnataka
The Karnataka government has extended the deadline for the land‑purchase assistance scheme that supports scheduled‑caste and scheduled‑tribe farmer women.
The Karnataka government announced an extension of the application deadline for its land‑ownership assistance scheme targeting scheduled‑caste (SC) and scheduled‑tribe (ST) farmer women. The scheme provides financial support to eligible women to purchase agricultural land, aiming to promote land ownership among marginalized farming households.
The extension gives eligible SC and ST farmer women additional time to submit their applications, ensuring broader participation and enabling more women to benefit from the government’s financial assistance. Officials said the move is intended to remove procedural bottlenecks and encourage greater inclusion in agricultural land ownership.
The scheme, part of the state’s broader effort to empower women in agriculture, continues to offer subsidies and low‑interest loans to qualified applicants. The government urged interested farmer women to take advantage of the extended timeline to secure the support needed for land acquisition.
