With the aim to help small and marginal farmers in the country, the government had launched PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana or PM-Kisan. The scheme has been running with 100% funding from the Centre, though the entire responsibility of identification of beneficiary farmers rests with the State as well as UT Governments.
Under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme, financial assistance of Rs. 6000 is directly transferred into the bank accounts of farmer beneficiaries. While announcing the relief package few days back, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman told that 8.19 crore beneficiaries have already received the first installment of Rs 2,000.
Sitharaman said that “One time of rupees two thousand has reached 8.19 crore farmers and a total amount of Rs 16,394 crore. NSAP beneficiaries received Rs 1,405 crore in the 1st installment and Rs 1,402 crore in 2nd installment - the target of Rs 3,000 crore is nearly achieved”.
Farmers who wish to register for PM-Kisan Yojana can approach the local patwari or revenue officer or Nodal Officer of PM-Kisan yojana nominated by the respective state government. There is also an option to do self-registration online. Know the complete the process here;
