On Friday, on the occasion of Panchayati Raj Day, PM Modi spoke to sarpanches across the country through video conferencing. During this time he also launched the e-GramSwaraj portal and app and Swamitva Yojana.
The e-GramSwaraj app will provide all the information about the fund and all other works of the Gram Panchayats, due to which the Panchayat works will get transparency and development works will also be fast.
The Swamitva Yojana will help in removing all the confusion about the property among the villagers, as well as mapping of each property with the help of drones will be done in the villages. After the implementation of this scheme, rural farmers will be able to borrow easily from banks like cities.
Let us know that only a few states have been covered under these schemes. These states include 6 more states including Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh which are starting trials of this scheme. If the trial of this scheme is successful then it will be started in every village.

The first installment of total 6 thousand rupees, received under the ‘Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi’, an ambitious scheme of the Government of India for farmers, has been transferred to the accounts of farmers in the last few days. However, some farmers have not been able to get this installment due to lack of documents.
Under this scheme, farmers apply both offline and online. Many times the application is not accepted as documents such as Aadhaar, mobile number or bank account information would not have been given.
In this case, farmers can upload their documents online from home. For this, farmers have to go to the link of pmkisan.gov.in and go to ‘Farmers Corner’ and upload their documents.

During the Corona crisis, the Government of India is promoting direct marketing among farmers. Under this, the government is striving for farmers’ convenience and better returns. Along with this, states have also been requested by the Central Government to facilitate ‘Direct Marketing’ to farmers/farmer groups / FPOs / cooperatives to facilitate them to sell their produce to bulk buyers / big retailers/processors, etc. give rise to.
However, many states have also promoted ‘direct marketing’. These states include states like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Gujarat.
During the lockdown, many states have seen good effects of ‘direct marketing’. During the lockdown in Rajasthan, more than 1,100 direct marketing licenses were granted, which made it easier for farmers to sell their produce.
In Tamil Nadu, market fees were waived under this, due to which traders bought produce from farmers from their fields. At the same time, FPO along with farmers and traders in Uttar Pradesh are supplying the products to the consumers of the cities. This is providing savings and direct benefits in wastage of farmers.
