Due to the uncertainties of the agriculture sector, the economic condition of the farmers is not stable. In such a situation, they have to face difficulties in living in old age. To overcome this problem of the farmers, the central government started ‘Pradhan Mantri Kisan Maandhan Yojana’. The objective of this scheme is to make the farmers who have completed 60 years of age self-reliant and provide power to the landless farmers. Under this scheme, farmers can get a pension amount of Rs 3000 per month by paying a premium of Rs 55 to Rs 200.
Who will get the benefit of this scheme?
The age of the applicant to take advantage of this scheme should be between 18 to 40 years. Along with this, only those farmers who have 2 hectares or less cultivable land will get the benefit of this scheme. At the same time, after joining the scheme, the beneficiary of 18 years will have to pay Rs 55 per month and the beneficiary of 40 years will have to pay Rs 200 per month. On attaining the age of 60 years, a pension amount of Rs 3000 per month will be given as financial assistance to the beneficiary. If the beneficiary receiving the pension dies, then his wife will be given 1500 rupees per month.
