#Mukhyamantri Krishak Durghatna Kalyan Yojna

The Allahabad High Court has ruled that a farmer’s eligibility under the state’s accident welfare scheme is determined by active agricultural labor, not household income role. This sets a critical precedent for thousands of small and marginal farmers whose labor sustains family farms but who are often excluded by bureaucratic interpretations of 'breadwinner'.

Allahabad HC rules that a bataidar certificate, even if produced belatedly, must be considered for compensation under the Mukhyamantri Krishak Durghatna Kalyan Yojna. The court set aside the initial rejection, emphasizing that welfare schemes must account for rural beneficiaries' limited legal awareness and procedural hurdles.
