Relevance for Banking, SSC & RBI Grade B exams: Polity & Governance
The “खेत बचाओ अभियान – रबी 2026,” a nationwide initiative running from October 22 to November 30, 2026, aims to reach approximately 50 lakh farmers across 34 states and union territories, over 700 districts, and 50,000 villages. This campaign, conceived as “स्वस्थ धरा, समृद्ध किसान,” focuses on promoting soil health, balanced fertilizer use, and sustainable agriculture. Key priorities include balanced nutrient management, natural farming, crop residue management, crop diversification, and climate-resilient agriculture. It envisions forming 4,150 teams involving KVKs and ATMA, supported by over 12,000 scientists and ATMA officials, to conduct 50,000 field demonstrations and 11,750 systematic training sessions. The initiative also targets a social media outreach to 1.5 crore farmers and an overall digital outreach to 2.5 crore farmers, addressing concerns like imbalanced nutrient use, declining organic matter in soil, rising cultivation costs, and natural resource degradation, while also emphasizing regenerative agricultural practices, capacity building, agricultural mechanization, and advanced agricultural technologies.
For Banking, SSC, and RBI Grade B aspirants, understanding the “खेत बचाओ अभियान – रबी 2026” is crucial for Polity & Governance. This initiative highlights government policy and implementation strategies for agricultural development and rural livelihoods, directly impacting India’s economic stability given that over 46% of the workforce is engaged in agriculture. Knowledge of such nationwide campaigns, their objectives like promoting sustainable agriculture and improving soil health, and their extensive outreach mechanisms (e.g., KVKs, ATMA, digital platforms) demonstrates an awareness of governmental efforts to address critical issues like food security and economic sustainability. Furthermore, the campaign’s focus on efficient resource utilization, climate-resilient agriculture, and financial inclusion through agricultural schemes provides valuable context for questions related to rural development, economic policies, and social welfare programs pertinent to these examinations.
