Wheat is not just a crop it’s the backbone of our agricultural economy, especially in Punjab. Every year, thousands of hardworking farmers sow wheat with the hope of a good harvest and fair prices. But in recent years, rising production costs and falling market prices have made life difficult for our farmer brothers.

Understanding this struggle, the Punjab Government has introduced a historic initiative—the Kisan Card Wheat Support Program 2025. This is a first-of-its-kind program offering direct financial aid to wheat farmers, without forcing them to sell their crop to the government. Let’s break down how this works and why it’s such a golden opportunity.
What is the Kisan Card Wheat Support Program?
The Kisan Card Wheat Support Program 2025 is a new government initiative to provide direct cash support to wheat farmers in Punjab. The Punjab Government has approved a massive Rs. 15 billion fund specifically for this purpose.
Unlike old systems where support depended on selling wheat to the government, this program gives financial help directly through Kisan Cards, whether a farmer sells the crop or not.
What Makes This Program Special?
This is not just another subsidy it’s a complete shift in policy that puts the power back in the hands of the farmer. Here’s why it stands out:
- No sale to the government is required
- Farmers can sell their wheat wherever they want—to private buyers, in the open market, or even keep it for storage
- Aid is based on the land you cultivated, not on the amount of wheat sold
- Direct bank transfers via Kisan Card, ensuring transparency and speed
In short, freedom, fairness, and financial support—all in one package.

Step-by-Step: How Farmers Can Get This Support
Getting this support is simple. Here’s how farmers can benefit from the program:
Register in the E-Wheat System (EWR)
Farmers need to be registered in the E-Wheat Registration system, where land and crop details are stored. If you’re not registered, visit your local agriculture office or tehsil center to get it done.
Get Your Kisan Card Activated
The Kisan Card is like a smart subsidy card. It connects your farming details with your bank account. If you don’t have one yet, apply for it at your district agriculture office or a designated bank.
Land and Wheat Acreage Verification
Your land and wheat cultivation will be verified through official records. This step ensures the right people get the right amount of support.
Direct Transfer to Your Bank Account
Once verification is complete, the support amount will be transferred directly to your account linked with the Kisan Card no middlemen, no delays.
Why Was This Program Needed?
Let’s face it farming has become more expensive. Fertilizers, seeds, fuel, and labor costs have gone up, while wheat prices haven’t kept pace. Farmers were reaching a breaking point, and many feared they wouldn’t be able to plant again next season.

District-Wise Rollout Plan
The program will launch district by district, starting in areas where the government wheat procurement program has already ended. This step-by-step plan helps avoid confusion and ensures smooth implementation.
Even if you’ve already harvested or sold your crop—you’re still eligible, as long as your land was verified and you’re registered in the system.
