UP E-Padtal Yojana 2025 is a new digital scheme to help farmers in Uttar Pradesh by providing quick compensation when crops get damaged due to natural events like floods or heavy rains. Since about 70 to 75 percent of people in Uttar Pradesh depend on farming, this scheme is very important and useful for farmers across the state.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath started E-Padtal Yojana to increase farmers’ incomes and support them by giving subsidies and benefits through various government schemes. The plan includes a detailed digital survey of crops grown by farmers to collect accurate data on crop areas. This data helps the government give timely compensation if crops are damaged, so farmers do not face large losses.
How Does UP E-Padtal Yojana 2025 Work?
The government will carry out a digital crop survey under this scheme. Officials will collect data about the types of crops grown, their locations, and the affected areas when natural disasters happen. This information helps in assessing damage quickly so farmers get compensation without delay.
The survey will happen in phases. In the first phase, 21 districts are surveyed between 10 August and 15 September. The second phase covers 54 districts. Committees at district and tehsil levels manage the progress, with chief secretaries leading these committees.
Purpose of the E-Padtal Scheme
The main aim is to gather complete information about crops and farming areas across Uttar Pradesh. This makes it easier to provide timely financial help to farmers if their crops get damaged. The scheme also helps raise farmers’ incomes and ensures they benefit more effectively from government subsidies and schemes.
