Overview
Gujarat’s storage scheme exists because of a specific loss pattern: harvest arrives, unseasonal rain or a cyclone follows, and produce sitting in the open is either damaged or dumped on the market at whatever price is going. An on-farm structure removes the urgency from the sale.
The scheme pays 50% of the cost of building a storage godown on your own land, up to a ceiling the state notifies and has revised upward more than once — reported figures range from ₹50,000 to ₹1 lakh depending on the year, so read the current i-Khedut notification as the authority rather than any number quoted second-hand. The structure has to meet a minimum size of about 330 square feet. Applications run on i-Khedut in defined windows rather than all year, and construction has to follow the sanction — not precede it. The state budgeted around ₹77 crore for the scheme for FY2024-25, which gives a sense of scale even though the per-farmer ceiling itself moves year to year.
What you get
The benefit as the state notifies it — nothing here is an estimate.
- 50% of the cost of building a storage structure on your own farm, up to the ceiling notified for the year.
- Protects the harvest from unseasonal rain and cyclone damage, which is when most storage loss happens.
- Lets you hold produce back and sell when the mandi rate recovers instead of selling into a glut.
- Applied for and tracked entirely on i-Khedut — no separate departmental file.
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 with agricultural land in Gujarat
- Land record (7/12 and 8-A) in your name
- Applying in an open application window on i-Khedut
- Construction begun only after the sanction order is issued
Not covered
- Structures built before sanction — assistance is not paid retrospectively
- Applications submitted outside the notified window
Documents you need
Have these ready before you start — most rejections are a missing paper, not a missing right.
- 7/12 and 8-A land records
- Aadhaar card
- Bank passbook
- Caste certificate, where a reserved-category rate applies
- i-Khedut application printout with the sanction number
How to apply
Fewer steps than a central scheme, and usually one office rather than a portal.
- 1
Apply on i-Khedut in the open window
The portal opens applications for defined periods. Applying outside a window is the commonest wasted trip.
- 2
Wait for the sanction order
Build only after sanction. A structure completed before the order does not qualify, whatever its quality.
- 3
Build, get it verified, receive the assistance
The department inspects the completed godown against the sanctioned specification, then releases the assistance to your account.
If something goes wrong
Missing from the list, or payment stuck — here is the channel the department itself publishes for it.
- For a stuck application, a rejected inspection, or a delayed assistance release, first contact your district agriculture office or the i-Khedut portal's own support channel.
- If unresolved, escalate through SWAGAT (State-Wide Attention on Grievances by Application of Technology), Gujarat's public grievance redressal system — file online at swagat.gujarat.gov.in or through your district collector's office. SWAGAT includes monthly hearings where unresolved cases are reviewed directly, and the system has resolved over 95% of the grievances filed with it since 2003.
Frequently asked questions
Can I build the godown first and claim later?
No. Construction has to follow the sanction order. Assistance is not paid for a structure built before sanction.
When can I apply?
Only when i-Khedut has an open application window for the scheme. The windows are notified by the department and are not open all year.
How much money will I actually get?
Half the cost, up to the ceiling notified for that year — not a flat payment. The ceiling has been revised upward more than once and figures from ₹50,000 to ₹1 lakh circulate, so check the current i-Khedut notification rather than a number quoted second-hand.
Is this scheme actually funded at any real scale, or mostly symbolic?
It has a real budget line — the state provisioned around ₹77 crore for the scheme for FY2024-25 — so it is an actively funded programme, not a token announcement, even though the per-farmer ceiling itself is revised from year to year.
Is there a minimum size for the godown?
Yes, the structure has to meet a minimum size of about 330 square feet to qualify for the assistance.
