Its demands for grants
2 budget lines sit under this ministry. The total above is their sum, because a group carries no figure of its own anywhere in this dataset.
- Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare PM-Kisan cash transfers, crop insurance under Fasal Bima, and the interest subsidy that makes crop loans cheap. ₹1.23 lakh cr
- Department of Agricultural Research and Education The ICAR network — agricultural universities, crop and animal science institutes, and farm research stations. ₹10,000 cr
The ministry structure here is the one the 2026-27 Budget publishes, applied to every year so a demand keeps one place across time. A machinery-of-government change that moved a demand between ministries in an earlier year is therefore not reflected.
