Full guide
What the scheme gives you
The Rajiv Gandhi Krishak Sathi Sahayta Yojana protects farmers, agricultural labourers and mandi (market) workers in Rajasthan against accidents suffered while doing farm or market work. If a covered person dies in such an accident, ₹2,00,000 is paid to the dependents. Injuries are compensated on a fixed schedule:
- ₹50,000 for loss of both hands, both legs or both eyes, or for a coma from a spinal or head injury
- ₹25,000 for amputation of a hand or leg
- ₹5,000 to ₹20,000 for the loss of fingers, depending on how many
- Smaller graded amounts for other specified injuries
Who is covered
The scheme covers farmers, agricultural labourers and workers in mandis (agricultural markets) who are residents of Rajasthan. The key condition is that the accident happened while the person was engaged in agricultural or marketing work — so keeping records (FIR, medical reports) that establish this is important for the claim.
