The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme was launched by the Indian government with the aim of providing financial assistance to farmers across the country. Under this scheme, eligible farmers are entitled to receive a fixed amount of Rs. 6,000 per year in three equal installments.
However, there have been several reports of farmers facing problems with the timely disbursal of their PM-Kisan installments. One of the major issues faced by farmers is the delay in the receipt of their payments. Many farmers have reported that they did not receive their installment on time, leading to financial hardships and difficulties in meeting their agricultural expenses.
Another common problem faced by farmers is the incorrect crediting of the PM-Kisan installment amount. There have been instances where farmers have received lesser than the promised amount or have not received any payment at all. This has resulted in confusion and frustration among the farming community, who depend on the PM-Kisan scheme for financial support.
Many farmers have also complained about the lack of transparency and accountability in the disbursement of PM-Kisan installments. There have been reports of corruption and malpractice in the implementation of the scheme, with some farmers alleging that their payments were siphoned off by middlemen and officials.
The government has taken certain steps to address these issues and streamline the process of PM-Kisan installments. Recently, it was announced that the PM-Kisan beneficiaries will now receive their installment directly into their bank accounts, ensuring a quicker and more transparent payment process.
Despite these efforts, there is still a long way to go in ensuring the smooth and timely disbursal of PM-Kisan installments to all eligible farmers. The government needs to implement stricter monitoring mechanisms and ensure greater transparency in the system to address the challenges faced by farmers and make the PM-Kisan scheme more effective in its objective of providing financial assistance to the agriculture community.
