Overview
The Mukhyamantri Pak Sangrah Structure Yojana is a 100% state-funded Gujarat government scheme that provides financial assistance to farmers for constructing a crop storage godown on their own farm. It prevents post-harvest losses from rain, moisture, theft and wildlife damage by giving farmers a secure place to store their produce until they get a fair market price.
The subsidy was recently increased from ₹1 lakh to ₹2 lakh per beneficiary (or 50% of construction cost, whichever is lower), and the maximum storage structure size was doubled from 300 to 600 square feet. For structures between 300–600 sq ft, the subsidy is calculated pro-rata at a fixed rate per square foot. The state government approved ₹154.36 crore for the scheme in the 2026-27 financial year.
This is one of the most popular farm-infrastructure schemes in Gujarat — it gives small and marginal farmers a real alternative to distress selling at harvest time. With their own storage, farmers can wait for better prices, negotiate from a position of strength, and reduce the 5–10% post-harvest loss that open-field storage causes.
What you get
The benefit as the state notifies it — nothing here is an estimate.
- Up to ₹2 lakh subsidy (or 50% of construction cost, whichever is lower) for building a crop storage structure.
- Structure up to 600 sq ft — enough to store several months' produce for a small or marginal farmer.
- Protects stored crops from seasonal rain, moisture, pests, theft and wildlife damage.
- Farmers can sell at a better price instead of dumping produce at harvest when rates are lowest.
- Pro-rata subsidy for structures between 300–600 sq ft at a fixed rate per square foot.
- 100% state-funded — no central share required, faster disbursement.
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
- Farmer in Gujarat with agricultural land in their name
- The storage structure must be built on the farmer's own agricultural land
- One structure per farmer (one-time benefit)
- The structure must be used exclusively for crop storage
Not covered
- Farmers who have already received this subsidy for the same landholding
- Structures built for non-agricultural purposes
- Land not in the applicant's name
Documents you need
Have these ready before you start — most rejections are a missing paper, not a missing right.
- Aadhaar card
- 7/12 land record extract (in applicant's name)
- Bank account passbook (for DBT)
- Passport-size photograph
How to apply
Fewer steps than a central scheme, and usually one office rather than a portal.
