This review study systematically examines government plans and
policies targeting the agricultural sector in Vidarbha, Maharashtra, from 2005
to 2025, with specific emphasis on their impact on farmers' livelihoods. The
region, comprising 11 districts, has witnessed sustained policy intervention in
response to chronic agrarian distress, farmer suicides, and productivity
challenges. This paper maps major central and state schemes-including loan
waivers, crop insurance (PMFBY), irrigation projects (Gosikhurd, PMKSY), rural
employment (MGNREGA), land reforms, and disaster management-and evaluates their
documented outcomes on farmer income, debt burden, agricultural productivity,
and livelihood security. Employing desk-based secondary analysis of government
data, CAG audits, academic research, and media reports, the study identifies
critical evidence gaps and proposes a structured RTI framework to address data
limitations. Findings reveal mixed outcomes: while some schemes improved access
to credit and insurance, implementation challenges, delayed disbursements, and
inadequate monitoring weakened impact on ground-level farmer welfare. The paper
concludes with evidence-based policy recommendations for enhanced transparency,
district-level impact assessment, and farmer-centric scheme redesign.

शाहजी राजे
भोसले (1594-1664) एक प्रमुख मराठा सेनापति थे और छत्रपति शिवाजी महाराज के पिता
थे। उन्होंने अहमदनगर सल्तनत, बीजापुर सल्तनत और मुगल साम्राज्य की सेवा की। शाहजी
राजे ने मराठा साम्राज्य की नींव रखने में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई और बाद में
तंजौर, कोल्हापुर और सतारा जैसी रियासतों को भोंसले परिवार की विरासत में स्थापित
किया।
