The government has introduced several institutional reform programmes to support farmers. A key step includes the provision for crop insurance against risks like drought, flood, cyclone, fire, and disease. Additionally, the establishment of Grameen banks, cooperative societies, and banks ensures farmers have access to loan facilities at lower rates of interest.

Other significant schemes introduced by the Government of India include the Kisan Credit Card (KCC) and the Personal Accident Insurance Scheme (PAIS). To assist farmers further, special weather bulletins and agricultural programmes are broadcast on radio and television. The government also announces minimum support price, remunerative price, and procurement price for important crops to prevent exploitation by speculators and middlemen.
