Certainly, here is an article on Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana.
Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN) is a scheme initiated by the Government of India to provide financial aid to farmers across the country. The scheme was launched on 1st February 2019, with the aim of augmenting the income of small and marginal farmers by providing them a sum of ₹6,000 per year (in three equal instalments) on a direct benefit transfer (DBT) basis.
Through this scheme, the government seeks to ensure the economic well-being of farmers, and also to support them in their agricultural endeavours. The scheme is intended to benefit around 12 crore farmers across the country.
The scheme has several eligibility criteria that farmers must meet in order to receive the aid. Firstly, farmers must be individuals who own cultivable land, either by themselves or as joint owners. Secondly, their landholding should be up to 2 hectares. Thirdly, the scheme is applicable to all farmers across the country, irrespective of their state of residence.
Farmers who meet these criteria can enrol for the scheme by visiting the official website or visiting their respective department offices. The scheme is also open to farmers who are part of other welfare schemes, such as the PM-KISAN Maan Dhan Yojana and the PM-KISAN Kisan Credit Card.
Overall, the PM-KISAN scheme has been lauded as a major step towards ensuring the economic well-being of farmers across the country. The scheme has already disbursed over ₹1.15 lakh crore to crores of farmers across the country, and is expected to continue providing financial aid to farmers in the years to come.
