The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN) is a government-sponsored scheme that aims to provide financial assistance to small and marginal farmers across India. Under this scheme, eligible farmers receive a monetary benefit of Rs. 6,000 per annum, which is transferred directly to their bank accounts in three equal instalments of Rs. 2,000 each.
To be eligible for the PM-KISAN scheme, farmers must possess cultivable land up to 2 hectares, and their names must be listed in the land records of their respective states/UTs. The scheme aims to cover around 12 crore farmers across the country, and it was launched in February 2019.
The status of the PM-KISAN scheme is monitored through its official website (pmkisan.gov.in), where farmers can check their application status, payment status, registration status, and other relevant details. To check the status of their application/payment, farmers need to enter either their Aadhaar number, bank account number, or mobile number.
In addition to the website, the government has also launched a PM-KISAN mobile app that farmers can download on their smartphones to check their status and other details. The app is available for free download on Google Play Store and App Store.
Moreover, the government has also set up various PM-KISAN help desks across the country to assist farmers with their queries and issues related to the scheme. Farmers can approach these help desks to get information about the scheme, registration process, documents required, and other relevant details.
Overall, the PM-KISAN scheme has been well-received by farmers across the country, and it has helped them to mitigate their financial burden to a great extent. The government has also expressed its commitment to improve the scheme’s efficiency and reach out to more farmers in the coming years.
