Overview
CMSGUY was launched in FY 2016–17 as a five-year mega-mission aligned with the national goal of doubling farmer income by 2022. It operates through a registered society with multiple missions underneath — agriculture mechanisation, irrigation, fishery and allied activities — all delivered at the revenue-village level through a saturation model.
Under the tractor distribution component, the government distributed 9,135 tractors worth ₹454.53 crore in the first phase, providing one tractor with accessories per revenue village to groups of 8–10 actual farmers. The subsidy covers up to about 70% of the tractor cost — a maximum of ₹5.50 lakh and a minimum of ₹3.84 lakh per unit. A revised scheme with application forms is available on the official CMSGUY portal.
The fishery wing, "Ghare Ghare Pukhuri Ghare Ghare Maach" (Pond in Every Home, Fish in Every Home), was conceptualised in 2017–18 with a project outlay of ₹121.55 crore. It provides pond construction, fish seed and feed inputs for two consecutive years, and farmer training through the College of Fisheries, Raha and Krishi Vigyan Kendras under Assam Agricultural University. Other sub-schemes include solar and electric tube well distribution and incentivisation of paddy milling and rice mill upgrades.
What you get
The benefit as the state notifies it — nothing here is an estimate.
- Up to ~70% subsidy on tractors with accessories — ₹3.84 to ₹5.50 lakh per unit — distributed to groups of 8–10 farmers per revenue village.
- Solar and electric tube wells installed for irrigation in un-irrigated villages.
- Fishery pond construction with two years of fish seed, feed and training under "Ghare Ghare Pukhuri Ghare Ghare Maach".
- Paddy milling incentives and rice mill set-up/upgrade support for value addition.
- Farmer training through Assam Agricultural University's Krishi Vigyan Kendras and the College of Fisheries, Raha.
Who is eligible
State schemes usually state their criteria as prose rather than a checklist. This is that prose, unpacked — the department’s verification is what decides.
You qualify if
- Actual farmer, resident of Assam
- For tractors: group of 8–10 adult farmers from the same revenue village
- For fishery: individual farmer with land suitable for pond construction
- Small and marginal farmers prioritised
Documents you need
Have these ready before you start — most rejections are a missing paper, not a missing right.
- Aadhaar card
- Land documents / land ownership proof
- Bank passbook
- Group formation letter (for tractor component — 8–10 farmer group)
- Passport-size photograph
How to apply
Fewer steps than a central scheme, and usually one office rather than a portal.
- 1
Form a farmer group (for tractors)
For the tractor component, 8–10 actual adult farmers from the same revenue village form a group and apply together. Individual applications are not accepted for tractors.
- 2
Apply through block or CMSGUY portal
Download the revised application form from mmscmsguy.assam.gov.in or collect it from the block agriculture office. Submit with land records, Aadhaar and bank details.
- 3
Verification and allotment
Block-level officials verify the group and land records. Selected groups receive the tractor with accessories at the subsidised price. For fishery, individual beneficiaries are selected and pond construction begins.
If something goes wrong
Missing from the list, or payment stuck — here is the channel the department itself publishes for it.
- For tractor allotment delays, fishery input issues, or subsidy problems, contact the District Agriculture Officer or the CMSGUY district cell. The CMSGUY Society headquarters can be reached through the portal at mmscmsguy.assam.gov.in.
- Beyond the department, use Assam Sewa Setu at sewasetu.assam.gov.in or the toll-free helpline 1800-345-3574 to lodge a grievance.
Frequently asked questions
Can one farmer apply for a tractor alone?
No. The tractor component requires a group of 8–10 actual adult farmers from the same revenue village. The tractor is allotted to the group, not an individual.
How much does the farmer group actually pay for the tractor?
The subsidy covers ₹3.84 to ₹5.50 lakh per tractor (about 70% of the cost). The group pays the remaining 30% — shared among all members.
What is "Ghare Ghare Pukhuri Ghare Ghare Maach"?
It translates to "Pond in Every Home, Fish in Every Home" — the fishery sub-scheme under CMSGUY. It provides pond construction, fish seed and feed for two years, and farmer training to boost local fish production and rural employment.
Is the scheme still running after 2022?
CMSGUY was originally planned for FY 2016–17 to 2021–22. The official portal and sub-scheme activities — tractor distribution, fishery support — continue to operate, with revised application forms available on mmscmsguy.assam.gov.in.
Who provides the farmer training?
Training is delivered through Krishi Vigyan Kendras under Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, and the College of Fisheries at Raha — not private agencies.
Can I get both a tractor and fishery support?
They are separate sub-schemes with separate applications. A farmer can potentially benefit from more than one component if eligible, but each has its own selection process.
Are tube wells also covered?
Yes. CMSGUY includes distribution and installation of hybrid solar and electric tube wells to bring irrigation to un-irrigated villages.
