The Gujarat government has pushed back the deadline for Minimum Support Price (MSP) registration by two weeks and introduced the i‑Khedut online portal to facilitate Rabi crop benefits for farmers.
Gujarat's agriculture department announced a 15‑day extension to the deadline for farmers to register for the Minimum Support Price (MSP) scheme, giving cultivators additional time to complete the formalities. The original cut‑off date has been moved forward, although the exact new date was not disclosed in the brief release.
Alongside the extension, the state launched the i‑Khedut portal, a digital platform designed to streamline the application process for Rabi season benefits. The portal enables farmers to submit required documents, track eligibility, and receive updates on subsidy disbursements without visiting government offices.
Officials said the combined measures aim to improve outreach to small and marginal farmers, ensuring that more beneficiaries can access price support and related assistance before the Rabi sowing window closes. The initiative reflects Gujarat's broader push to digitise agricultural services and reduce procedural delays.
The state government has urged all eligible growers to log onto i‑Khedut promptly and complete their MSP registration within the revised timeframe to avoid missing out on the promised financial safeguards.
