Sure, here’s an article on the status of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana:
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN) is a government scheme aimed at providing financial assistance to farmers across the country. The scheme was launched in February 2019, with the goal of providing an income support of Rs 6,000 per year to farmers’ families.
Under the scheme, eligible farmers are provided financial assistance in three instalments of Rs 2,000 each every year. The scheme is implemented by the Department of Agriculture, Cooperation and Farmers Welfare (DACFW) under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare.
The PM-KISAN scheme benefits farmers who have cultivable land up to 2 hectares and is aimed at providing financial support to farmers in meeting their agricultural inputs, including seeds, fertilizers, and labour costs.
As of September 2021, more than 12.35 crore farmers have received more than Rs 1.17 lakh crore under the PM-KISAN scheme since its inception. The scheme has been instrumental in providing financial assistance to farmers during the Covid-19 pandemic and has helped in sustaining agricultural production.
The government has also been taking various steps to ensure that the benefits of the PM-KISAN scheme reach the intended beneficiaries. The government has launched the PM-KISAN mobile app, which allows farmers to register themselves under the scheme and check their eligibility status and payment status.
The government has also announced that the PM-KISAN scheme will be extended to fisherfolk and animal husbandry farmers. This move will help in providing financial assistance to a wider section of farmers and will also promote the development of the fisheries and animal husbandry sectors in the country.
In conclusion, the PM-KISAN scheme has been successful in providing financial assistance to farmers and has helped in sustaining agricultural production. The extension of the scheme to fisherfolk and animal husbandry farmers is a welcome move and will further enhance the reach and impact of the scheme.
