The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-Kisan) was launched by the Government of India in 2019 with an aim to provide financial assistance to farmers across the country. Under the scheme, eligible farmers are given a sum of Rs. 6,000 per year in three instalments of Rs. 2,000 each. However, several farmers have reported not receiving the money despite being eligible for the scheme.
The reasons behind the non-payment of the PM-Kisan amount can be multiple. The first and foremost reason is the incorrect information provided by the farmers while registering for the scheme. The farmers need to provide their Aadhaar number, bank account details and other relevant information which should match with the records. Any discrepancy in the data leads to rejection of the application and thus the farmers do not receive the payment.
Another reason for non-payment can be the delay in the verification process. Once the farmers’ details are submitted, they need to be verified and authenticated before the money can be credited to their account. This process often takes time due to the high volume of applications and can result in a delay in payment.
Moreover, some farmers have reported the issue of technical glitches in the system which have led to rejection of their applications. While it is important for the farmers to ensure that their details are correct and verified, it is equally important for the government to provide a functional and efficient system.
Whatever be the reason, non-payment of the PM-Kisan amount has left several farmers in distress. It is important for the government to address these issues and ensure that all eligible farmers receive the benefit of the scheme. Providing financial assistance to farmers is crucial for the growth of agriculture sector which is the backbone of our economy.
In conclusion, it is imperative that the Government of India takes necessary steps to address the issues faced by farmers in receiving the PM-Kisan amount. A stable and thriving agriculture sector is crucial not only for the farmers but also for the overall development of the country.
