As per the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojna (PM-KISAN), farmers who are eligible can receive financial assistance of up to Rs. 6,000 per year, for their agricultural needs. However, there have been cases where several farmers have not received their entitled amount.
One possible reason for this is that the farmers have not been able to successfully enroll for the scheme due to a lack of appropriate documentation. The PM-KISAN scheme requires farmers to possess a ‘land record’ reflecting their ownership of land. In some cases, the failure to provide this document has resulted in farmers being unable to receive their benefits.
Another issue is the discrepancy in the data being shared with the PM-KISAN scheme. Farmers may have provided incorrect or outdated details, leading to discrepancies in the database. As a result, the entitled benefit may have been credited to the wrong account or not credited at all.
Furthermore, there have been reports of widespread corruption and mismanagement at the lower levels of authority in some states, leading to farmers being unable to receive their entitled benefit. In some regions, poor infrastructure and access to connectivity have also disrupted the smooth implementation of the scheme.
Many farmers rely heavily on the PM-KISAN scheme to support their agricultural ventures and their livelihoods greatly depend on it. Hence, the government must take swift action in addressing the gaps in the implementation of the scheme, so that the benefits reach the deserving farmers in a timely and efficient manner.
In conclusion, the PM-KISAN scheme is playing a pivotal role in supporting the agricultural sector of the country. However, the scheme’s implementation must be closely monitored and improvised so that the benefits reach the deserving farmers in a seamless and efficient manner.
