PM Kisan scheme-
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (generally known as the PM Kisan Yojana) is a central government’s scheme, which aims to provide income support to Indian farmers so that they can meet their financial needs regarding various agricultural inputs. This scheme was launched on 24th February 2019 by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India. Initially, the benefits of this scheme applied to the small & Marginal farmers only, but now it is extended to all farmer families, irrespective of the size of their landholdings.
Benefits of the scheme
Under the PM-KISAN scheme, each eligible farming family will be provided with a financial benefit of 6000 Rs per annum. This amount will be provided in three equal instalments of Rs. 2000 each, which would be provided every fourth month.
This scheme had already proved to be very fruitful to millions of farmers. According to a media report, around 7.6 crore farmers had received its benefits until November 2019. And now the government has added even more features to this scheme. Along with the scheme, farmers will also get many other additional benefits and facilities.
