With the changing times, now farmers are moving from traditional farming and turning to profitable crops. Especially the cultivation of flowers has raised a new hope in the villages. In this episode, the Bihar government has launched a special scheme to increase the income of farmers, flower (marigold) development scheme. Under this scheme, 50% subsidy will be given to farmers who cultivate marigold.
Marigold flower is useful not only in temples and decorations, but also in medicines. Its demand remains throughout the year, especially during festivals and wedding season. This is the reason why farmers are now getting attracted rapidly towards its cultivation. The good thing is that it also costs low cost and profits are many times more.

According to the information given by the Directorate of Horticulture of the Government of Bihar, the cost of Rs 80,000 per hectare has been considered on the cultivation of marigold flower. On this, farmers will be given subsidy of 50% i.e. Rs 40,000 per hectare. The benefit of the scheme will be available on the basis of “first come, first serve”. This scheme is applicable in all 38 districts of the state.
