Some schemes are called central and some state. I do not understand why the same drip or tractor has two figures. Can someone explain central versus state subsidy in simple terms?
A central subsidy is funded by the Government of India scheme, like SMAM for machinery, PMKSY Per Drop More Crop for micro irrigation, MIDH for horticulture or PM-KUSUM for solar pumps. These set a base percentage and cost norm that apply across the country. A state subsidy is extra money your own state government adds on top, from its own budget, often to make a popular item more attractive or to push a local priority crop. So for the same drip system you might see a central share plus a state top up, and the total on ground subsidy is the sum of both. Most central schemes are also cost shared, meaning the centre and state both contribute to the base amount in a fixed ratio. What this means for you: do not just look at the central figure, ask what your state finally pays after its top up, because two farmers in two states can get very different totals for the same machine. Some items are purely state schemes with no central component at all. Always check the final combined slab for your category on your state agriculture or horticulture portal, since the top ups change with each state budget.
Mere padosi rajya me drip pe state top up zyada hai isliye unhe mujhse zyada subsidy milti hai same system pe. State ka final rate pucho, sirf central mat dekho.
Kuch scheme poori state ki hoti hain central ka koi part nahi. Aur kuch me central aur state dono milkar paisa dete hain. Office wale isi ko cost sharing bolte hain.
